Americana Music Film Series- second event

As part of my year long Americana Music Tribute Series (benefits for Children's Home Society of WV-Parkersburg) I will be having the second in the "off month" Americana Music Film Series Friday, March 23rd at 7 pm. The showing of Margaret Brown's film: "Be Here to Love Me"- a film about the life of Townes Van Zandt. It features performances and interviews by Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, Emmylou Harris, Steve Earle, Guy Clark, and many others. If you've never heard of Townes Van Zandt, you are in for an intriguing treat, to be exposed to his life and music- you'll wonder how he slipped through your musical cracks. If you know of his impact on many other musicians, but haven't seen this movie, you'll be truly inspired by the connections and insights provided. And if you just like good story telling, you'll love this movie- some of the stories by Guy Clark and some of the other compadres are hilarious- they fill you full of the richness of life. There is some very interesting old footage of Townes himself, and some family archives type footage that is impressively gathered and worked through the film.
The movie will be shown at 1739 St. Marys Ave. Parkersburg. I might remember to collect a $1 donation. Its pretty dark in the parking lot but we'll be in the third storefront back with a cheery glow from within if you can make your way. I've got Gram Parsons, Steve Goodman films lined up for later months, but some others can be squeezed in here too. I'm sorry more folks didn't come out for the Harry Smith anthology documentary in January. I am willing to loan it out.
Townes Van Zandt is the subject of the famous line by steve earle: "Townes Van Zandt is the best songwriter in the whole world and I'll stand on Bob Dylan's coffee table in my cowboy boots and say that."
