______________________________________________________________
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 
Joe Viglione's 1 minute film, THE BIRDS RETURN (Music by Buzzy Linhart), won the regional (Medford) film award from JustaMinute Film Festival
 
The Just A Minute Festival is a production of The Media Tribe, Inc. This program is supported in part by grants from the Winchester Cultural Council, the Medford Arts Council, the Arlington Cultural Council, the Beverly Cultural Council and the Billerica Arts Council, all local agencies which are supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.

 ___________________________________________________________________
Look at what the critics are saying: the soundman for Lou Reed, Fleetwood Mac, Steely Dan, The Byrds etc. (who shall go nameless) said:

"By Eck!! Joe's been at seaside washing oil off seagulls again. And you don't get high, Wow!!"
_________________________________________________________________

You don't have to get high to enjoy The Birds Return

Music by Buzzy Linhart (who performed with Jimi Hendrix, Bill Cosby, Carly Simon and wrote Bette Midler's signature tune "Friends").  "The Birds" soundtrack was engineered and co-produced by Eddie Kramer who engineered Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, The Rolling Stones' "Beggars Banquet."   "The Birds" was one of the first songs taped at Jimi Hendrix's new studio back in 1970 or so.  The unreleased track just surfaced when Mr. Kramer got the tapes to Mr. Linhart and Mr. Linhart's company licensed the song to me for this film.

Also, note my "Alfred Hitchcock" moment as I put my shadow in the movie  (as the Hitchcock sort-of walk-on); the title itself is a nod to Hitch - "The Birds Return" 

Mr. Hitchcock was never on Visual Radio, but I did photograph him and meet him in the early 1970s for a story in my magazine, Varulven when he was in Boston promoting his film FRENZY

Jimmy Church interview on July 5 - from Nashville!


 Jimmy Church Interview July 5, 2012

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpPkB5eT2Vg







July 5, 2012 Interview with Jimmy Church
Conducted by Joe Viglione (JV)


JV: Welcome to Visual Radio, it is Thursday evening, July 5, 2012 and we're honored to have Jimmy Church on the phone.  Hello Jimmy!

JC: How 'ya doin'?

JV: I'm doing well, how about you?

JC: I'm doing good.  Honored to be your guest.

JV: Man, I was looking at your website, you are booked all over creation!

JC:  ...Oldies...I do the old stuff, still do it like I did in 1955, '65 and that's what carries me to this day.
People still like to hear the old music like it goes.



JV:  Do you know how many gigs you've probably performed over the years (both JV and JC laugh)


 http://collectorsfrenzy.com/Details.aspx?id=180575168812



JC: That's hard to say. That's really hard to say.  I wasn't blessed enough to have hit records, so I decided to get the music that the people that never changed, everybody likes the old school music.

JV: They certainly do

1 minute
JC: With that format, I've traveled halfway around the world. Still playing "Mustang Sally" like "Mustang Sally."   You know,  the same way.  By me being 73 I was born and raised during that time, I can still give the same feel that I did in 1965. 

JV: Amazing

JC: You know, all the guys... I've been on shows with Wilson Pickett, Jackie Wilson, Marvin Gaye, Otis Redding, James Brown...all those guys. And all of them are gone, and I'm still here.   You know, (someone) I was talking about the other day, Bobby Hebb, we were very close.

JV:  Now you know that Bobby was on my third show, August 16, 1995

JC: No, I didn't know that.

2 minutes
JV: Bobby & I had been corresponding by mail, but we'd never met until he did my TV show.

2:06
JC:  Oh, OK.

JV: So that's how I met Bobby in person and then he did a bunch of my shows (2:10)
and I'd go around taping him when he performed live.

2:13
JC: OK, Bobby joined my group after he got out of the service. We were still in high school, 1957.  Still in high school, and Bobby came out of the service playing guitar. Because I saw him when we were younger
...(2:35) his mom and dad used to play on the bus.  You know, they were blind, and he used to play the spoons...we were young... I knew that (2:40)...but...towards meeting him and playing with him in music. He joined my band...well, my group, we had a group called the Five Seniors.  We did a record "Why Did You Leave Me" in 1957 (2:57), did it in high school, Bobby came out of the service...and we were just astonished the way he played guitar.  Man (we were  kids), he played it like   L.Pauling (3:10; Lowman Pauling) of The Five Royals...that was our idol, The Five Royals, we were patterned after them. (3:15)

And we did a little record and traveled, carnivals...and did some (----) Wilson shows, and Bobby played with us.  He's a great guy...man, he wrote a song for me that I went to New York and recorded (3:27) Kenny Burrell was the guitar player, Sticks Evans was the drummer, Mickey & Sylvia were the ones who did the session.























JV: Oh, Mickey and Sylvia did the session?

JC: Mickey, Mickey Baker.

JV: Right.

JC: (3:36) He was over the session, this was in...it must have been '60, no, it must've been  59...58...58...

(4:00)
JV: And what was the name of the song?


JC:  It was on one of those...ah...you know those  albums ...those old hits...those old songs you throw on ...those songs...man (laughs) ..."I Wish"...and I wrote the other side, sounded like a...some kind of (regular) rock & roll song I wrote ...it was on one of those ...back when they had all those songs they put on CD and they sell.


 
More Rockin' on Broadway
I WISH
written by Bobby Hebb
Produced by Mickey Baker
http://www.allmusic.com/album/more-rockin-on-broadway-mw0000222818





JV: Yep.

JC: It was on one of those things.  (4:34).  One of those, y'know. 

4:39
JC: Bobby's words were so strong...

Cover--More-Room-in-a-Broken-Heart.jpg



The legendary Buzzy Linhart who wrote "The Love's Still Growin' " and performed it on the first Carly Simon solo album talks to biographer Stephen Davis and Visual Radio host Joe Viglione on May 10, 2012.   

Author Stephen Davis returns to Visual Radio to discuss his new book "More Room in a Broken Heart (The True Adventures of Carly Simon)", the unauthorized biography of Carly Simon featuring gorgeous photos by her brother Peter Simon. Davis talks to Visual Radio host Joe Viglione and chats on the telephone with the legendary Buzzy Linhart who wrote "The Love's Still Growing" on Carly's first solo album.



Book Review: More Room in a Broken Heart: The True Adventures of Carly Simon by Stephen Davis

Author Lidea de Leon is spot on when she says THE BUZZ on Stephen Davis book...and we've got the Buzz...Carly's old friend Buzzy Linhart....on Visual Radio talking about the book!

The buzz on More Room in a Broken Heart, Stephen Davis' unauthorized biography of pop-music staple of the '70s and '80s, Carly Simon, was pretty bleak, but as a longtime fan of Simon and first husband James Taylor, I felt compelled to take a look at this first attempt to explore her life in book-length form.

FIGHT FOR THE FIELD

Directed by Joe Viglione
with special guest Paul Manganaro


On Saturday night, November 19, 2011, there was a boxing event held at Winchester Town Hall. Three of the matches were filmed by WinCAM's 2010 Producer of the Year, Joe Viglione. These fights featured West Point Military Cadet Teams vs. the New England All-Stars.

Dangerous Dana Rosenblatt and Irish Mickey Ward appeared at Town Hall and added to the festivities. They say "hello" to our audience from ringside.

On Thursday, December 15, 2011 Paul Manganaro appeared on Visual Radio Live to talk about the FIGHT FOR THE FIELDS

WinCAM has this event to air on Comcast 8, Verizon 36 and http://www.wincam.org The program will also post to YouTube as well as Comcast's new PROJECT OPEN VOICE.
