GREAT JOB GUYS!

Hi wfdt!

I guess we were old friends from the early 90`s?

Thank you so much for those very kind words.

You have me smiling and blushing at the same time! It really makes me happy to know someone remembers The Situation so fondly. I will always have a soft spot in my heart for my old band!

PS- Eric Leifert who played bass in The Situation plays bass on Next Stop Silver Spring theme song.

Drop me a line and remind me how we know each other. It would be nice to say hi to an old friend! Sharon

I knew Sharon Freedman in the early 90's, when she was lead singer of "The Situation." She has a tremendous voice and musical talent. I recognized it instantly when I watched this the other night. She's too big for Silver Spring, she should be on the national stage.

Great start! I can't wait to see the whole thing.

[WGottlieb]

And so you shall--- if you can wait till March '08 when it airs on WETA TV 26.

Man! I get a bit of a lump in my throat watching that. I hope it's out soon.

Silver Spring was a special place to grow up in the 60's and early 70's - and of course as a kid everywhere you go is on foot, so everyplace you've passed is up close and personal.  Occasionally I get back down there to see time lapses of it's revival, and I am so happy to see the county preserving it's landmarks.

[WGottlieb]

Having grown up during the same period, I completely agree with you. The B&O station was a place I was always fascinated by as a kid and occasionally wandered into - along with the Georgia Avenue underpass, of course, which was a passageway between Shepherd Park, South Silver Spring and downtown SS.

Great video! How long did it take for them to renovate the building?

[WGottlieb]

Thanks! It took roughly two years from the beginning of the process to the ribbon cutting ceremony.

[Ahgjan]

I can't wait to see the actual show!  Its great to be able to look back and watch the progress and improvement a group can give to a historic building, and at the same time this video shows how much the B&O affects the communities it ran through even now that it is no longer in existance.

[WGottlieb]

Yes, well said. In fact, we still use the same basic rail lines that the B&O laid down in the 19th century, so the railroad does endure in more ways than one.

Great song and video!!!

[WGottlieb]

Thanks for the compliments on both! Glad you enjoyed it. I think people will be moved by this custom-written song about Silver Spring and the trains by Sharon Freedman Gruber.
