"We (The Glenn Miller Orchestra) have
this album...been working on it for a while," said Erik Stabnau, music director of The Glenn Miller
Orchestra, about their latest recorded project "The Glenn Miller Orchestra: 80th Anniversary of The Army Air
Force Band" (Hindsight Records) featuring Grammy winning Crystal Gayle (Grand Ole Opry member)."The Glenn
Miller Orchestra..." project offers 15 classic tracks which includes "Sentimental Journey" featuring Crystal
Gayle ("Brown Eyes"). The Glenn Miller Orchestra reached a milestone when awarded a Gold Record in 1942 for "Chattanooga
Choo Choo." Miller's orchestra is the only Big Band era orchestra still on tour. The orchestra performs over 100 dates
a year.
"The producer got in touch,"
Erick said when I asked how they come to have the Hollywood Walk of Famer Crystal Gayle on the album. "He has some kind
of connection or relationship. They are both based in Nashville."
"The dirt will come out in the
wash," said Arthur Muhammad, a film writer and director, about the storyline his new film Twelve is about. "Skeletons."
Filmmaker Arthur Muhammad was inspired to write Twelve from his own
life, finding out that he had a brother. The film Twelve, airing on Fandango at Home (Vudu), is a horror/comedy that stars
Ted Lange (The Love Boat) as the family patriarch who passes away, Lance E. Nichols (NCIS: New Orleans), Tiffany Black (P-Valley),
and Norman Nixon, Jr. (Grey's Anatomy).
"Me
and my dad played dominoes a lot, that's the reason for the concept," Arthur said about the inspiration for the film.
"In doing research on dominoes I learned they were originally made with bones, which connected (skeletons in the closet)."
