Utah Phillips with Nancy Spencer -Opera and Nevada Jane

This is a movie that I was most proud to be a part of being responsible for, it's called 'Utah Phillips and Friends'. It's a concert my dear friend and hero and national treasure Bruce 'Utah' Phillips put together with Literature Alive at the Miner's Foundry Cultural Center in Nevada City, California (the town he lived in all the years I knew him) on Oct. 11th, 2003 with John McCutcheon, Nancy Spencer, my father Paul Foreman (poet), Mark Ross, and Harry Tuft. A very interesting ensemble. If you wish to order a copy of the DVD, send me a message and I can either get you contact information for our business partner who has helped produce this in San Francisco or send you a copy here from my house in Texas. We've got a half dozen or so copies in stock currently. I wish he were still alive and that I could perform with him, but since he is not I will continue to shoulder the enormous weight of his musical and educational legacy as much and as far as I can.

Great footage ! I've loved the sound of the musical saw since first coming across it on The Flatlanders original album.
