Kickstarter campaign for "A Quiet Revolution" Windham Hill Records
kck.st/3KSBcHb (Kickstarter link) Windham Hill Fans: I'm excited to be helping out with what promises to be a great documentary about a great (Palo Alto) record company with which I had a wonderful relationship in the days of the New Varsity. We were able to document so many of the artists there, as it was a bit like home for many of them, especially Michael Hedges and Tuck and Patti. Please dig down deep, if you are able, to help these seasoned documentarians tell the story of Windham Hill Records. Donations at this link: kck.st/3KSBcHb

In concert with Michael Hedges. Michael's set can be found (parsed) earlier on my channel. This concert was not long after they first met though Hedges had been a fan for several years. We were excited to get to shoot Pierre in Mendocino and Willits decades after this New Varsity show, both of which are up here on my channel.

    ♡CROZ: Hedges had an arrangement of "My Country 'Tis Of Thee" tagged on the end of his song "Holiday" on Watching My Life Go By, which is about caskets coming home from war. I asked him to record a guitar track of it so I could sing it. I loved the changes he put to it and the way it felt. It's beautiful. 🇺🇸MY COUNTRY 'TIS OF THEE - David Crosby (1:57) ➡ ua-cam.com/video/bET_OGhQxjE/v-deo.html (words: Samuel Smith - music: traditional/arr.

    🔔🇺🇸Holiday(Michael Hedges)🔔 Relax, get away from it all No solutions seem to last(These illusions will not last) It's a holiday, wear a smile Put on a celebration mask (It's a holiday - we're lost behind confusion's holy mask) Take off, leave a trail Let the children wave their sparklers through the sky It's a holiday But if the fuses get too short, they won't ask why they won't ask why If you hover above your enemy(enemies) And you're ready to send your aluminum boxes down It's a holiday Send the soldiers on a one-way weekend pass (Some soldiers on a one-way weekend pass; he's on a one-way weekend pass) There's a field of blue in my memory But the stars reform (explode) and the stripes begin to fade For the holiday When the world turns independence day at last At last My coun­try, ’tis of thee Sweet land of li­ber­ty Of thee I sing (Of thee I sing) Land where my fa­thers died Land of the pil­grims’ pride From ev­ery mount­ain­side Let free­dom ring Let freedom ring Let it ring Let it ring 🔔

    Nice idea. Great to see so many of the WH artists interviewed here. As was correctly stated, WH came along at the right time and place. I think, in the wake of the disco era, etc. many people were looking for something fresh and new. WH supplied that need. But it's more than that. The music itself was so creative and so well done, not to mention expertly recorded and produced, that it so easily generated a loyal following. I don't think we'll ever see any out-of-the-mainstream musical 'movement' like that again. All that said, however, after reading through all the various donation levels and perks associated with them, I was turned off. Just seems too tacky for my taste. The fans helped make WH what it became. Doesn't seem right to now solicit funding from them to make a movie. Watching the kickstarter video (which was quite good actually) is enough. Probably all the interviews with WH musicians that I'd ever care to see are already available on youtube.
