Movie: Walter Norris

2003-10 I took on the daunting task of making a movie about Walter Norris, called one of the greatest musicians in the world by many leading critics, but an artist who's virtually unknown to the public. To order the documentary on DVD and Walter's rare recordings, visit my shop: http://thegallery404b.com

Movie: Bobby Rush

Sept 2009 The documentary about Bobby Rush - "King of the Chitlin' Circuit" - world premiered Friday Oct 23 at the 2009 Hot Springs Documentary Film Festival. Mr. Rush came and gave an inspired performance at the after party.
