Some live video for the Home Stretch!
Well folks we are coming down the home stretch. It's been an exciting ride, almost as exciting as the recording sessions themselves were. To give you a taste of what this project will look and sound like, we've posted a chunk of raw video and audio of Dr. Lonnie Smith and gang tearing up one of Dr. Smith's classics: "Psychedelic Pi." And yes, there's plenty more where that came from.
A mighty thank you to all of you who have pledged your support, we truly appreciate it. If every backer could tell two other people about this project, we think we could meet our fundraising goal. Please help with spreading the word!
With sincere thanks,
The Pilgrimage Productions Team
