I'm passing this along. Looks fascinating!
Greetings Music Lovers,
My name is Barry R. Willis; I wrote "America's Music: Bluegrass - A History
of Bluegrass Music in the Words of Its Pioneers" which came out in 1997. It
was purely a love of the music that I wrote it, but customers seemed to like
it so I'm ready to take it to the next level.
I want to place the ninety hours of interviews used to create it into an
interactive format so that customers can hear the actual conversation I
had with the individual.
I'm sure bluegrass fans will LOVE to hear these actual interviews. Many
of the people I interviewed are gone now. Hearing their voices brings
them to us live.
I will also bring up-to-date the Appendix in the book which lists the births
and deaths of hundreds of people in bluegrass. And, as necessary, bring some
of the original book chapters up-to-date. Extensive linking is necessary to
make this a really interactive and interesting book.
I need a "techie" who loves bluegrass who has the capability of helping
bring this to life. The interviews and new photos and videos will be placed
on a server and be accessed from a computer. The original book can fit on
one DVD, but the huge library of interviews cannot be done in the same way;
they must be placed remotely for people to access via an internet server.
Pay? The pay is as a partner with me. The pay comes after the product comes
out. So, the better the product is done, the more the pay. I will also
solicit sponsors.
If you're interested, or know someone who is interested in helping make
bluegrass history, please drop me a line here in Hawaii where I live at
barry@pinevalleymusic.com. See http://www.pinevalleymusic.com.
Keep on pickin',
In God We Trust! Barry
