My friend Monica Cravotta asked me to create this video in support of the efforts of the Sweet Songs Album benefiting the Milk Bank of Austin. This video is a montage of interviews with the artists, musicians, songwriters, producers who put the album together. It helps describe the music, the cause, and a bit of the efforts in developing the album. Buy the Sweet Songs album at www.austinsweetsongs.com and support a great cause and the efforts of a wonderful group of local women musicians who have created a fantastic album for all the right reasons.

All of the participating women are thrilled to be contributing to the children’s music genre while advocating for the health benefits of breastfeeding for both mothers and infants and raising awareness and money for our local milk bank. 100% of the profits from Sweet Songs CD sales will go to the Mothers’ Milk Bank at Austin: milkbank.org/

The album will be celebrated and released in Austin at a family-friendly brunch and concert on Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 9, 2010 from 10:30am to 12:30pm at Big Red Sun. Please reserve your tickets in advance here: austinsweetsongs.com/cd-release-concert/

Southpaw Jones is a local Austin musician / songwriter. He is funny, witty, and tons of fun to see play live, especially at the Whip-in (with a Pecan Porter in hand). Southpaw plays at the Whip In on Thursday nights @ 8PM, for much of April / May 2010.

This is a time-lapse of Pearl Jam performing KLRU’s “Austin City Limits” (ACL) PBS concert series taping on October 3rd, 2009. The episode premieres next Saturday, November 21st. 

This time-lapse was created from photographs taken every 6 seconds from 9:09AM – 11:29PM. Over 10,000 images we’re taken. 

If you notice Eddie Vedder performing on stage before they seem to begin the actual show, that is during rehearsal. Yes, that is Ben Harper with him. 

If you are experiencing playback issues please try turning off the HD feature (rollover top right of movie). 

This is my way of making a contribution to a organization that I value as one of Austin’s greatest assets. The privilege to help celebrate ACL’s 35th year is a thrill beyond words.

Thank you Terry, Leslie, Emily, and staff of ACL.
