Thunder and Lightning

A couple weeks ago mom and I went to the only showing in Minnesota of the documentary Song Sung Blue at the St. Anthony Main theater during it's annual film festival. It is a story of a couple best known as Thunder and Lightning who formed a Neil Diamond tribute band. Their story is one of living a dream but coming short of attaining their ultimate goal. The story is both inspiring and heart aching.

The film maker interviewed my Auntie Pat, late Great Uncle David and his best friend Tom D'Amato. They spoke about their experiences with and memories of the couple. The film also shows that Eddie Vedder is a very classy guy.

Though the people voted and Song Sung Blue wasn't popular enough to get a second showing at St. Anthony Main, the film is making it's way around the country and I would highly recommend you catch a screening if it comes to a theater near you.
