Hey swing and blues fans... New movie to watch for; "The Honeydripper"

Here's a message from my friend Gord Beadle about this must see movie!

I want to let everybody know about this cool new movie that's out. I just saw the pre-release showing of the new John Sayles movie "The Honeydripper" about a guy with an early electric guitar helping to save a juke joint in Alabama in 1950-ish.

Juke owner played by Danny Glover and lots of good musicians in the film like Keb Mo, Mabel John, and a big part for great Blues Sax man Eddie Shaw! I consider Eddie to be the greatest living Blues Sax player and one of the greatest Blues Sax players ever! I did some background music for the film and it's my horn you hear just after the opening credits as you hear the rockin' music from the rival club down the street. You get to see and hear lots of Eddie Shaw later in the film.

The film was not backed by the big Hollywood movie biz, was independently produced and is being independently distributed also. They need support! Check out the trailer - http://honeydripper-movie.com//trailer/ or their MySpace site - http://www.myspace.com/honeydrippermovie

The director, John Sayles is known for his movies Return of the Secaucus 7, Lone Star, Passion Fish, Eight Men Out, The Secret of Roan Inish and for his work as screenwriter for many other big films.
