How's Your News?

I really need to take a moment to thank Bomarr Blog for this one. "How's Your News?" is a documentary film which features a team of five news reporters with mental and physical disabilities. I havent had the chance to see this film (as of yet. it'll happen, definitely), but it is now on the top of my dvds-to-find-and-buy list (yes, above saved. and above spirited away.). Some of you who know me may or may not be aware of the fact that my longest-running career aspiration is to become a special education teacher. This came about after a profound moment around age eleven/twelve (this was 2000) as my class did weekly work experience/helping out type stuff at a local care facility for the mentally and physically disabled. Unfortunately I live in a (mostly) passionless city so I'm going to be working up a sweat looking for this DVD here. I encourage everyone to find it and see it for themselves, wherever they are, because it looks absolutely brilliant. The music is joyous and the lyrics are so wonderful. Please please please enjoy these songs.

As we drove across America we tried to write some songs about the various places we visited. After the trip was through we got together at Chad's house and recorded some of these songs for the movie's soundtrack. Not all of the songs made it into the movie, but we still like them. Here's your chance to give them a listen. The lyrics were written by Ron and Sue. - howsyournews.com
