Utah Phillips Dies
We are inspired by great artists and I feel compelled to make this post in honor of one ...Utah Phillips was such a huge influence on me and he just died. One of the dream projects we hope to work on sometime in the next couple of years is a documentary on his life. I learned of Utah from Ani Difranco's music. She brought him to a wide public awarenes when she made the album "the past didn't go anywhere", which deeply changed me at a very important time. I remember the moment.

This is an art video of his song (not produced by us) bridges below (listen to about 5:15 to get a good gist of what this guy is about). And yes that is Ani in the background of the tune. Utah was really a bad ass and I wish I could have met him before he died.
