    Thanks to Dave and all of you who have posted positive reactions to the rough cut. It sounds corny but it is the greatest reward!

    Hi. Nothing has changed since update #37 wherein I estimated the film to be finished by next spring. We have a couple of shoots to complete in the UK and New Orleans which should happen within the next 6 weeks.

        Unbelieveable! Once again, Michael, you seem to have no regard for the people that provided you the financial support you needed for the film. Here we have yet another unfulfilled promise....."so you can expect it within weeks".....that e-mail was sent September 8th. I guess, technically, ~7 WEEKS~ is still "within weeks", huh? HOW ABOUT SHOWING US SOME RESPECT?? Get it together, and get the copies of the film to us ASAP, or at least have the decency to give us some HONEST ANSWERS as to why you can't, OK?

        Fantastic job on the documentary! I got mine last week and thoroughly enjoyed every minute. If this had been the final cut I would have been completely satisfied. It's very exciting to think about the new chapters that will be added. Once again I have to say "Great job!".

    A Picture's Worth a Thousand Words!!!!

    Well it seems the cat's outta the bag but at least it wasn't me. Just shot the latest amazing chapter in GP's meteoric rise.  Please enjoy the really good blog/interview with Steve Goulding about everything that I couldn't say.  The link  may be found on the comments tab or below.

        when is all that going to happen, I do not agree its worth waiting for springsteen!
        We want our Graham Parker material not to mention we waited a long time for this new addition to his repertoire!

    Update....

    So the T-shirts and posters were going to be mailed together, but we still haven't received the posters. They are almost 3 weeks late. So, late last week Katherine began shipping the T-shirts.  As soon as we get the posters and they are shipped by Kathy we'll issure an email. The DVDs are being manufactured as we speak and I, personally, am mailing those. So when they are in my hands I'll let you all know when you can expect it in yours. Hope you're all doing well.

        Got the shirt- very nice BUT.......
        The poster came in damaged and unusable due to a crushed tube. Can I request a replacement?

    The Boss

    We are still relatively on schedule (off by a week) on the posters.  DVD will follow shortly there after.  The interview did not pan out with Elvis Costello so here's Bruce doing what he does best, loving great music.

        The Rockpalast show from 1978 backing this clip was the one that cemented my passion for GP's music, a passion that hasn't waned in nearly 35 years. A fitting tribute like yours is long overdue. Hopefully he'll get the recognition he so rightfully deserves at last!

        Lovely to see rock royalty like Bruce heaping praise on GP and good to know he was tuned in at the time. Can't wait to see the 'final cut'! And good luck. W.

        You actually tried to get Costello for an interview? I'm not surprised that didn't pan out.
