Let’s stop to consider all who gave their lives for this country on this Memorial Day. Thank you for dedicating your life to America. For those of us who have not served, we will never know what your days were like. Even the most graphic combat movies can’t speak to the fear, the horror of war, the unimaginable acts of bravery. As a citizen of the United States, I cherish the freedom you have insured for us.
Today we bring you Michael Fracasso, with whom we caught up in mid-May at the Cherokee Creek Music Festival outside of Llano, Texas. I should mention that there were so many artists in attendance, even though they weren’t performing, that we were able to record fifteen sessions all told. It was our first time filming Michael, though he has just released his seventh album, Saint Monday. “Red White & Blue” is from his 2007 CD Red Dog Blues. It stops time, which is our intention. Take a moment to remember and say a silent prayer of thanks.
