Through Other Eyes
One of the best bands to come out of Cleveland in the '80's, System 56 recorded this song for an EP released in 1982 called "Beyond the Parade." Band leader Steve Simenic graciously allowed me to use it for a film school production that I shot one weekend visiting Lori at Kenyon in 1983. When I recently discovered Steve had put together a CD called "Retrospective: 1982-1984," I thought it would be fun to dust off the 16mm film, re-cut it, and offer it to the band as the music video they never had. ​

Gun for Hire (2020)

Picture
Ain't Hurtin' Nobody
 A video that I edited for Jon Carroll is a groovin' little celebration of simple joys, not so simple acceptance and the best excuse for non-violence there is. Originally written and recorded by the late and brilliant John Prine. Jon Carroll added an additional verse for encouragement during these justifiably demonstrable times. 
Picture
Keening Sugar Blue
 Tommy Keene is one of my all-time favorite local musicians. When Ronnie Newmyer asked me to work on a video for a song he'd written about Tommy, I jumped at the chance. "Keening Sugar Blue" is a beautiful tribute to a talented musician and lovely guy who left us way too early. RIP Tommy.
