Marie Knight passes on (1925-2009) videos

Gospel legend Marie Knight has died in New York City (August 30, 2009) due to complications from Pneumonia. Marie first came to prominence in 1946 when she met & commenced a longtime working association with Sister Rosetta Tharpe. As a duo they would become celebrated as one of the most popular gospel acts of the 1940's. They made music history through a string of gospel hits including "Didn't It Rain", "Up Above My Head", and "Beams of Heaven." Marie Knight and Sister Rosetta Tharpe toured frequently together through the 1950's. In the 1960's Marie had several R&B hits, but in 1970's Marie rededicated herself to Gospel music and became a minister at the Gates of Prayer Church in New York City. 

Marie Knight's recent comeback began in 2002 when producer and M.C. Records owner Mark Carpentieri invited Marie to record on "Shout Sister Shout Sister, A Tribute To Sister Rosetta Tharpe."

In 2007 Mark Carpentieri put together Marie Knight's first full length album in over 25 years "Let Us Get Toegther." The project was a tribute to Rev. Gary Davis and was co-produced with Larry Campbell (Bob Dylan, Ollabelle Levon Helm). The record was a critical success with great reviews  from The New York Times, San Francisco Chronicle, The Philadelphia Inquirer and many more.

Thanks to Mark Carpentieri for the heads-up he's founder & owner of  M. C. Records a great label out of New York.

Music video shot on iPhone~ "Play" by BJSR


Impressive, well shot piece done completely on an iPhone. Who said you need the four thousand dollar cams to shoot your vid?

Below is the behind the scenes of making the video. Great to see the inventiveness & shooting with a now common relatively inexpensive device.

The Maine Studio opeing took place today, August 25th 2009, it is a very big deal for film in the state of Maine. The opportunity to have a dedicated space in the Portland area to have a sound stage and  services related to film, a growing industry in the state, is certainly newsworthy & welcome news like the Goovernor said he'd not seen so many legislators gathered out in public away from Augusta, so  you know it's a big deal! Props to Frank Nappi, especially, for his interest & walking the walk about supporting creative arts community in Portland, Maine!

Storm Approaching Portland Maine July 4th, 2009


Tweaked a bit in LR as I am experimenting with it 

Original straight out of cam below below

 


The Storm though it looked so ominous actually receded and never hit Portland. I was riding around Back Cove with a friend and "had to stop & catch the spectacle!"

Of Art and Intention ~ dilly dilly (music)

 

 

Doo Write by Dilly Dilly  
(download)

 


The Album is called 'of art and intention' the artist dilly dilly .  Recorded  here in Southern Maine. The record got reviewed locally in the local weekly rag (Portland Phoenix) by PT local music writer Sam Pfeifle;
 
",,,With a vibe a lot like Bon Iver's (and I had that in my notes before I read her shout-out in the liner notes), the album is a construct, meshing the organic reality of any number of stringed instruments with the bleeps and bloops of manufactured beats and keyboard sounds. It is ethereal and grounded, sharp and raw and smooth and polished. Dilly does most of it herself, often playing three or four instruments, but she gets help from Jason Ingalls (Seekonk and Satellite Lot, among others) on drums recorded at Acadia, along with guest spots from Alias, Spencer Albee, Sontiago, and Fresh Kills.,,,"

see all  http://tr.im/DillyDooWrite

This album is destined for a much larger audience than just the local Portland music scene, much like the music of her "other band" Cerebus Shoal where Dilly Dilly's (Erin's) musical worldliness was and continues to be honed along with a myriad of other projects.

The album  she decided would be a free download although she wants people to donate what and if they can, actually here are her words;

dilly dilly *of art and intention* First official full-length album now available for Download!

Well, hello there again!

It official, Of Art And Intention is now available FOR FREE, online only release, with option to donate.

I've been striving and struggling in the music world for seventeen of my many years alive and I decided to take matters into my own hands. I mean... If it worked for Radiohead it could potentially work for me too! As we all know, record companies are receding and it's getting increasingly hard to make music something the musicians themselves can benefit from. With any luck, the money I make from this release online will fund a physical pressing in the future.

Thank you for your time and consideration for review and/or promotion.
