There's no shortage of great talent around the Pioneer Valley but to be able to gather these fine musicians for the people in town...for them to enjoy the music & relax in such a beautiful setting... it's a real pleasure for me."

The word is spreading about this little musical/garden nook that has been created & maintained by the hard work of Nick Dines, Donna Baldwin and the Angel Park Cmte and this year, the numbers should continue to grow, espcially with the addition of Burgy's new Thursday Market. It's such a perfect combination...head to the Farmer's Market for your fresh farm products and then stroll over to Angel Park to listen to some great music. It's what summer's all about!

Thanks for helping to spread the word and we'll see you at Angel Park!

PHISH • All My Plastic Melon Dreams - Phunder STILL needed for documentary in progress

Reelife Productions' owner Tom Adams, is STILL hoping to produce this independent documentary "some day"...

Adams, sits comfortably in his western Massachusetts office/edit suite crowded with film ephemera & tokens of his production career scattered about, "I hate to think of this as just another producer's "Pipe Dream". I am still looking for the right financial backer that would allow me to produce an official trailer for the film. The plan is that this trailer would convince Phish's Red Light Management to allow me continue with the production (which would also need another round of major funding). I just can't accomplish all that I want to accomplish with this film, if I'm producing other videos at the same time. I need to dedicate a full year to the production, and without the funding, my kids would have to wear burlap bags to school.

This is obviously a huge undertaking and it's going to take a group of rich hippies that really want to see this film get made :)...If anyone knows any rich old hippies, please send them my way."

The video playlist below shows a few samples of the interviews and the test trailers.

CRD Metalworks Woodbine Firewood Processors are selling like hotcakes

I'm always happy to hear that a video Reelife has produced has helped communicate a business or organization's message, or educated the public, entertained the masses, etc...

So, I am very, very pleased to see that the 10+ videos I have produced for CRD Metalworks over the past 4 years or so, have helped propel their business by leaps and bounds. It seems these guys are cranking out a new model, adding to their already large production line... every few months or so. Here's the latest version of their "Rapido Loco Jr." Pretty amazing machine, I must say. Glad to be working on such cool projects...

Madison J. Cripps & his ghoulish puppets

a little freakiness added to Reelife's canon of work:

Madison J. Cripps does some amazing stuff with his ghoulish puppet-erring and I was happy to have caught his act back in 2007 at the Pushkin Gallery, Greenfield, MA. Madison is down in North Carolina now, continuing to advance his craftsmanship and enhancing his show with some very cool new tricks. Check him out when he comes to your town...

Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Winterlong.

This, my Reelife friends, is one heck of a song. It has always been right up there in my top ten. All the stuff I like about Neil Young (and I like Neil Young A LOT..as some of you well know...just ask my 8 yr old son, Neil:). It's got the jingle, it's got the jangle, neil's has his whiney-high-pitch-green-acres-ey voice on..the guitars are all out of tune but perfectly so, the drums are poorly recorded and perfectly so... everything just fits so sloppily together..it's like my basement organization method, really.

Also, I thought it'd be especially appropriate to add this video to the Reelife Blog since it's a bloggy kinda day...as we get socked with another beautiful bounty of winter.

Ok, enough yammering..here's one of my favorite neil tunes from the 'recently' released early 70's Fillmore show with all of the original Crazy Horse members (including Mr. Danny Whitten -who would die from a heroin overdosed just a short while after).

anywhooo...

Rick's Place, Inc.

I'm real happy with the way this came out. This is a good example of a production that Reelife can produce after a couple of weeks of work, good collaboration with the client and participants and a few minor revisions. I'm very happy to be able to provide productions services for organizations such as Rick's Place. So many good people doing such great work.
