Hey there you guys, I was in a movie that was filmed 3, count 'em 3 years ago. Harvey Keitell, Bridget Fonda, Jon Schect (sp?). Any, in the film I am the leader/singer/guitar player of a glitzy bad Las Vegas-y house band at a casino. I got to cast the players, and used many of the folks that really play with me in real life. My bass player Ronnie, my old drummer Keith, my other guitar player Jay, keyboard player of my dreams Robert Nighthawk II, trumpet and sax players, 2 back up singers who are also great pals, Reba Russell and JoJo Jefferies. Anyway, Harvey plays a guy who thinks he is Elvis, and Bridget plays a Marilyn Monroe impersonator. JOn is after Bridget, and friend of Harvey. My character is the band leader who is friends with them, gambles with them etc., (I seem to be a gambling jones character, and drink alot). Also, I wear bad bad bad silvery stage clothes, and have Zena the Warrior princess boobs hanging out all over the place because they made me wear an old Madonna-like bra thingy for my top. (They did stuff toilet paper down there give make them a DDDDDD size, it was frightning Dolly-like). (Like we really go out and do gigs in that shit!) So, I have not seen the film, and no telling how little I am really in it, but I shot 40 or so various scenes over 15 or so days. I had heard that it was never going to be released, that Harvey had control and did not like his character. But a friend just sent me this clip and it looks like Cinemax is going to specialize in bad B movies. It was fun to do, they sure treated me like a queen, plus I managed to get and endorsment of a couple fine guitars from Epiphone so I made out pretty good. I just called Gibson a couple days before filming when I knew for sure I had the part and told them that my guitars were not flashy enough for the scenes (I have an old Willie-Nelson looking guitar with signatures all over it and an extra hole I wore in, plus my fuzzy cow-covered tele). So they delivered me what I asked for and never asked for them back. Ya'll remember that if you are ever in the same boat. I found Gibson was more than happy to help. I have been an extra in several films, but this was the first one where I had such a cool and bigger part. We play really bad versions of "Suspicious Minds" (Harvey singing), and also "You'd Be Surprised" (Jane singing). I hope that some of that actually makes it in the movie. Sorry this is so long, I have been working on a rap video and have been in hell for several days and not able to talk twang. Was too excited to not share this news!!!!
