MUSIC GIFTS
Hello
devoted David Baker fans. I’m in the last stretch! I spent a few days in
Portland, Maine last week in May, getting expert advice on fine tuning
the movie, with Reggie Osborn www.reggieosborn.com
and acquiring some period music to cover the 5 decades in the movie from the
generosity of SPC-TV (South Portland Community TV).

It is very challenging
to get copyright-free, legal, good music that fits with a movie without
spending thousands of dollars.
Thank you Tony Vigue and
Maurice Amaral.
I also
spent many an hour that week waiting for help in my car. I had to spend close
to a thousand dollars on car repairs! Car runs fine, but funds are dangerously
low.
Dick
Tilton sent me his best version of his original music, “Searcher,” which
includes a piece he wrote called "Vitreous Flux." He was a close friend of
David’s who used to live in NH. Now he lives in Hawaii and is a fine art
photographer, composer and performing musician. Thank you, Dickie for your
amazing gift of music to this documentary. Visit Facebook and his
website: www.picturesofmaui.com
GRANTS
Good news! I received $1,000 from the Pequawket Foundation of the
New Hampshire Charitable Foundation in June towards the expenses of
editing the final cut and towards producing the DVDs that will come out in
September.
I still need a lot of donations to help me pay for the above
costs, and to pay for the printing of posters, postcards, programs and so on.
Any amount is welcome!
Although I am fiscally sponsored by Fractured Atlas.org, I needed a local sponsor - AANNH (Arts
Alliance of Northern New Hampshire) www.aannh.org came
to my aid. Thank you Frumie Selchen,
SPONSORS: room for more!
SPONSORS: room for more!
We have some great sponsors so far: Northway Bank, Eastern Slope
Inn, Thompson House Eatery, Dutch Bloemen, Snowflake Inn, Fractured
Atlas, Minuteman Press, The Wentworth, Rick Goldberg Communications,Perry
Conley of Waterlifearts Kimberly Beals' White Mountain Art and ReggieO-Designs.
The poster is full but there are plenty of opportunities on the programs and
post cards.
DONORS
So far over
$10,000 was raised from private supporters. Some people are going to help out
more than once, and others have promised to send donations this month. Spending
cash for travel and printing will be the biggies as I cover three states for
our publicity. (Maine, Mass, and NH). I definitely need your help!
If Otis and
Terry Port hadn’t made a huge contribution, none of this work could have
happened. Jerry Baker and Eric have been my NH support group,
lodging and homemade meals.
Thanks
to all of you who are keeping this all going with your suggestions, support,
special talents, and small donations. Right now I need $5,000 to make it to the
home stretch!
MOVIE
NOTES
Big thank yous to some newest contributors: Jim McLoughlin of
Harpswell, Maine, who used to help David promote his career in the 1950’s and
whose interview helped shape the story, Nancy Baker Lind, who handed me more
family photos, Jeff Moore who shared his mother’s work, and Danny Bianchino who
did a totally fantastic job reading David’s poetry. I can hardly wait for you
all to see the movie.
Danny will be a featured reader at the Poetry night at the Conway
Library, Sept 18. (see above) He has the perfect voice for David’s poems and is
a very talented poet and musician. Have you ever checked out his
website? www.thefourthpath.com
