A prelude to the next entry...
I went to the Theater Fire show at the Cavern last week. They played 'Special Ways,' of course, which is the song I had decided to use as the sole piece of music in The Outlaw Son before I'd even heard it. They also played quite a few new pieces which most of us had never heard before - some truly beautiful material that nearly managed to wring a few tears from these weary eyes. James and I sat in the back afterwards and told Curtis that it didn't make sense that we knew him and Nick and the rest of the band, much less that we make movies and music and other things with them; how did we end up with friends that talented?
They were opening up for Bosque Brown, who I'd never heard before, but who I remember reading about on Kat's blog, since she'll be on the Jumping Off Bridges soundtrack. She was also amazing, and if I hadn't been cashless, I'd have bought her album (as it was, I only got into the show because I was on the guestlist). For now, I'll be satisfied with listening to the two tracks on her MySpace page: 'Still Afraid' is my favorite.
If you're so inclined, you can hear a few Theater Fire tracks at their website (check out 'Ne'er Too Late' if you're feeling moody, or 'The Desert' if you're not), but they're all from the first album from a few years ago - which is great, but believe me, you haven't heard anything yet. Albums two and three are recorded/being recorded, and will be released shortly (meaning: by the end of the decade, if we're lucky, long after James and I have plundered all of their contents for soundtracks).

Wow! Give Curtis my best, man! They're really great. I'd love to get back in time for that December third concert... But that'd be a stretch. We'll see. Also, I noticed Jesse's in the band too. Totally cool man.
