Back with the Ribbons - a video set to "Our Cultural Mission" by Blue Movie +1

The video was shot as cb and I drove home from winning handfuls of ribbons at the Sonoma County Fair, mine for movies and hers for her beautiful colorful pictures.  She drove, I shot.


Ths music is a live recording of me singing with Blue Movie in 1988 (my vocals were "fortified" years later) at The Oasis, SOMA, SF, USA. You can read more about this song here: Our Cultural Mission

Worth hitting the full-screen button for!

The Colorful Pictures of the Lovely cbrownsf, set to "Rolling Blackouts"



My lovely wife cb is a terrific fine art photographer, and she creates beautiful, colorful pictures from her photographs of the city and country.  A few years back, I picked several of my favorites from among her pictures at that time, and set them to a little tune I'd written and recorded called "Rolling Blackouts".  I hope you like it!
