Slow RiverHere's are some production stills from "Slow River", the latest short film from 25 North starring Jim Dougherty and Rhonda Tinch-Mize.

The photography is by Poilna Osherov. We could brag on her all day long but her work pretty much says it all. We can't thank her enough for spending time with us and taking the time to create these high quality shots.

Bob BabbittHere's a picture from our recent video shoot with Marc-Alan Barnette in Nashville.

For the session, Marc brought on none other than Bob Babbitt, the man behind the bass lines for such classics as “Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I’m Yours)”, "Midnight Train To Georgia", “Mercy Mercy Me” and a gazillion other greats hits from the 60s' 70s and 80s.

Working with the great group of musicians at Jay's Place is always a treat and adding Mr. Babbitt to that list of people was a chance of a lifetime.

Our friend Tina Swanson sent us this picture of Bob showing us the bass that he used on all those great hits. What an honor.
