nowhere now: the ballad of joshua tree

THURSDAY OCTOBER 29 - KCET 28 - 9 PM - LOS ANGELES - A PBS TELEVISION PREMIERE
Nowhere Now: The Ballad of Joshua Tree
a Music Documentary
directed by Don DiNicola
early 2005 new york film director don dinicola brought a small crew including cinematographer john pirozzi (who had shot 'god is good' for victoria williams & vic chessnut, featuring fred drake at rancho de la luna & in joshua tree national monument) to capture a week in the life of the joshua tree music community.
victoria williams, eric burdon, gram Parsons, gram rabbit, the sibleys, among many others, call the high desert community of joshua tree, CA, their home. including commentary from author/journalist ruben martinez & footage of ted quinn's live webcast/open mic, the film paints a portrait of life in the desert, 100 miles east of hollywood.

desert of dreams

welcome to my new website. i'm going to try to get it all up to date in the coming weeks, with songs, videos, photos, writings and more.

this photo was taken in 1969, outside my childhood home. it appears in the new book by my old friend, harvey kubernik, canyon of dreams: the magic and the music of laurel canyon - with henry diltz photos, a foreword by ray manzarek and afterword by lou adler. congratulations and many thanks to harvey for inclusion in this big, beautiful history book.
