He also did another song of theirs called "The Sad Milkman".  If anyone can find some audio or video and would share it with me, you would be my friend for quite some time. :)

Umbrella Tree - N-N-N-N-N-N-N

This is a an hour long documentary that was made in 2007 about the Nashville (NOT COUNTRY) music scene.  I might be in it.  Actually, that's me in the still photo.  Once you get past that long haired hippie picture, there are a lot of great talents featured.  So many good friends and amazing musicians / songwriters.  Check it when ya got some time on your hands.

Nashville State of Mind

Been in Cali...

Cassino always kills it.  The end.

Acrobat is great, but listen to the "Rose Of Lee" track.  So fine.
