Rick:  the name of the documentary will be: "Pocket Full of  Soul"...and the 
website for more information is:  
 
_www.pocketfullofsoulmovie.com_ (http://www.pocketfullofsoulmovie.com) 
 
make sure your speakers are on to listen to some nice background music  :)
 
Click on "Press" in the menu to listen to two separate Radio  interviews done 
last year by Todd Slobin & Marc Lempert (you'll first have  to "Pause" the 
background music).
 
  In the first Todd gives his opinions about which players impressed  him and 
who he thinks of as the future of the harmonica...and  in Marc's interview, 
he gives more specific details about how they  hope to distribute and have the 
movie seen, plus their plans to  put it out on DVD later (with some great 
follow-up harmonica data they  collected).  I'll be the first in line to get a 
copy...having seen Marc in  action filming at Denver SPAH, and chatting with him.
 
if you click on "Revolution" in the menu, you can sign on to receive  
updates.  These two young producers/film makers who made this documentary,  came to 
SPAH, interviewed so many harmonica players across the US and  
internationally... and previewed some of their footage for those  interested at Denver. If 
some of what we saw was any indication, it'll be  great.  I can't wait to see the 
finished product.

Mick,

Do you know the title of the upcoming harmonica documentary ?

Rick in TX.

I loved the movie "Once"; it deservedly showed up on a few  critic's best
ten lists. I particularly thought the last shot was  brilliant.
I would strongly recommend the new documentary "Note by Note-The  Making
of Steinway L1037", also. It basically follows a tree floating in  the
water through its year-long transformation into a Steinway piano.  Pianists
like Hank Jones, Kenny Barron, Lang Lang, Harry Connick Jr., Marcus  Roberts,
and others drift in and out of the narrative. But the real stars of  the
movie are the regular Joes who work on this piano at the New York  Steinway
factory. As they explain what their particular job is and what it  means to
them to build pianos you come to the realization that this movie is  really
about the dignity of labor and an endangered species called  craftsmanship.
If the folks making the upcoming harmonica documentary do half  as good a
job with their film as the "Note by Note" people did;  we
harmonica enthusiasts will be in for a treat.
