Zeke Fiddler's moody video of "1,000 Times" played live at The Woodmont is now on youtube.com right here: 1,000 Times at the Woodmont. The Woodmont is gone now, so it's an archival piece. If you watch it, why not go ahead and give it five stars. You know, or one star. Whatever. You're the critic now. Let's see those thumbs, America.Hey. Nice thumbs.
The Woodmont was a secret place that came alive in the wee hours of the morning. After the bars closed and the bands packed up, people found themselves sitting around this famous table with various musical instruments in their hands. Bruce Tull would head the table, sitting at his pedal steel guitar, and his mesmerizing tones would create a soundscape background, blurring conversation into song and back again. On this particular night Zeke Fiddler had his hi-tech camera with him and created this moody candlelit film. As Ohlenbusch began to play, Bruce chimed in, Steve Desaulnier picked up his bass, and Kevin O'Rourke grabbed a guitar

Hey Henning--that's a very lovely video. I hope you don't mind, but I posted it on the Board. I love going out to hear my favorite bands, but it's so wondeful when I get the chance to sit around and sing with the greats here in our music ville. You look the most relaxed I've ever seen you... maybe it's just a trick of the candlelight...
Oh how fun. It practically brought a tear to my eye, it reminded me so much of the Baystate era. I would have voted but I'm too lazy to register.
I'm embedding it in both my own blogs and linking to it at Detroit News. And now I'll be humming that tune all day. I always loved that song.
