	9/9/08 Of Great And Mortal Men, a 43 song collection about our past Presidents, bad and good, is being released any day now along with an accompanying 100 pages book with illustrations of each of the 43 subjects. I performed on Jeff Pitcher's contributions and had a great time doing it. There's a lot of great music here so check it out, just in time for a potentially painful election season. It's coming out on Standard Recordings. In other news I'm working on the PJ Hogan film, Confessions Of A Shopaholic and preparing for another series of movies based on best-selling author Nora Roberts for the Lifetime Channel. More to come! 8/6/08 • The surfing documentary Bustin' Down The Door has been released in theaters. You can check out the site for details. This was a really fun and inspiring project and I encourage everyone to check it out. Also, I contributed a couple of tracks to an excellent upcoming documentary about Youssou N'Dour entitled "I Bring What I Love" that will be premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival.
