Episode 46: Jimmy King - "Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory"
Those born after us believe the restrictive experience of 3 TV sources to be ridiculously arcane. In that world, you watched the calendar for certain traditional viewings. "Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory" was the mother lode event for many. It has signaled the start of "the holidays" each year since 1974, when it first aired that Thanksgiving night. Gene Wilder's iconic portrayal of the eccentric Wonka is original, yet still tied to the language and spirit of Roald Dahl’s book. This cautionary musical parable is entertaining and poignant. There are very few films like it. Moving Music had just launched our first episode. Wanting to celebrate, Ty and I went to that night's Martini Affair event at Turtle Creek Tavern in Columbus, OH. It was a party within a party, and the brain behind it was Jimmy King. Now they are well known as THE wedding band, on top of being a celebration staple. In our efforts to sit with each member, we have made our way to Jimmy. I won’t give away what you can hear in this discussion. However, as you listen to his story, you’ll feel like getting up and getting it right. TC

Episode 45: Joe Viers - "Waiting for Guffman"
Sometimes you just have to laugh. When it's all going crazy or wrong, a bit of humor can prove proper medicine. With “Waiting for Guffman”, Christopher Guest and Eugene Levy present a film that produces snot bubbling giggles through its entirety. Using a mockumentary style, they allow hilarious "improv" comedy to shape this story of Community Theater gone so wrong that it's right. There has been no better friend to the podcast than Joe Viers. Our dialog has been deep and oracular. Each vertically moving conversation becomes a living treasure. I study Joe's results, which expands my trade craft comprehension as an editor. Recording and shaping is what we do; cutting away the small pieces to reveal what was always inside the raw material. As a person, there is no more giving soul than Joe. His studio, Sonic Lounge, was built to shape the vision of others. Once again, Moving Music lifts the curtain to present our favorite technical wizard, Joe Viers.   TC

Episode 44: Bill Foley - "Glory"
"Glory" is a pertinent choice for Bill Foley’s 2nd film. They’re both great, but first I have to deal with the pandemic and racial controversies in the room. I habitually push through trauma and drama in real time, then deal. However, this routinely reflective rehab is in my current face. Admitting a profound affect as an artist does peel back a sensitive layer. The conflict and loss is intense and I am on my knees. 2020 has taken an unexpected course and we will adapt our original plan (as we have many in the vault). Each episode is designed to be relevant and timeless, even as life changes. This isn’t easy, but the process yields a desired result through shared composition that I can’t deny. It’s all that I can do in this life to reveal what I am about. Moving Music is a connecting bridge through the chronicle of another‘s personal story. We need each other. Like Ali said, "Me, We !!" Bill’s 2nd film choice, "Glory", comes at this very poignant moment. His love of history, particularly the Civil War, has inspired me. Over the last 3 decades, I have learned so much about how to be, from my Fort Hayes brother Bill. He has helped teach me empathy for others, acceptance of what can’t be changed, and that love always wins. He often has been exactly what I needed, when I needed it. His voice lives within me and he still teaches me comprehension. Please, step inside with Moving Music once again as we reconvene with Bill Foley about "Glory", and everything else. TC

Episode 43: Sean Carney - "Dracula (1931)"
In 1931, talking pictures had found their monster voice with Bela Lugosi as "Dracula". The combination of his visual style and speech cadence helped lift his vampire off the screen. Many believe this iconic performance was the best of his life. I had seen Sean Carney play multiple times and recognized a familiar "Fort" professionalism. When I learned that he was Fort Hayes alum, I was not surprised. His playing has a distinct style and he has a flare for stage fashion. We sat with many of Sean's peers and now it’s his turn. Once again, Moving Music sits with "Fort family" to discuss a film, music, and life. TC

Episode 42: Will Newsome - "Xanadu"
Xanadu? Yes, Xanadu. Even as a huge glorious flop, it still influenced the early 80’s style. For kids, this film seems like another world, animated and glowing. After we agree it’s not a great movie, the adult in us can look past the circus to see the lesson. It’s a teaching spectacle that survives as a musical guilty pleasure for many. Moving Music is responsible for relationships that transcend the project. Our brotherhood with Will Newsome advanced at the same time he lost his brother. We open our fourth year drenched in the emotion that balance demands. For every high, there will be a low. This is your invitation behind the scenes, as friends hold counsel and try to help each other grow. TC

Episode 41d: TC and Ty - "The Previous Fifteen"
It was September 2016 and I had been wrestling with myself all summer. I couldn't crack the combination to my own mind. Only when I cut myself out did the door to Moving Music open. These are stories that belong to other people. I realized my part was to be the steward of the diary, not the author. Ty Barnes has proven to be the best partner for this odyssey. The path didn't always jump off the page. This project demanded to drive its own course as we, at times, struggled with definitive direction. We have held close to the spirit and allowed our guests to guide us through their journey. These last two years have brought tears and laughter as the evolution shaped our purpose. I am filled with gratitude for every guest, and every person who would listen to their narrative. Thank you all. Here's to year four… TC

Episode 41c: TC and Ty - "The Previous Fifteen"
As we round 3rd base towards home in this retrospective, I am reminded of all the tragedies we pushed through in these last 2 years. At times, it was our developing Moving Music fraternity that gave us focus. Jimmy Mak shares his love of writing for the laugh, Matt Mees explains "The Righteous Groove", Dr. Phill Wilson teaches beyond the classroom, Mark Rhodes speaks of musical collaboration, and Kelly Bowman proves there is victory beyond just survival.

Episode 41b: TC and Ty - "The Previous Fifteen"
This discovery continued through our next 5. Our identity evolved as our process shifted. There were real growing pains as we, at times, fought the changes. Moving Music was now in new territory without a map. We laughed and cried our way to an understanding. Jennifer Milligan helped us feel for the world, Robert McFarland finds passion through collaboration, Joe Viers taught us that it isn't always so serious, Bill Foley gave us a new perspective on life, and Missie Tong reminds us that it is okay to change paths. We were learning while living through personal tragedies. TC

Episode 41a: TC and Ty - "The Previous Fifteen"
These episodes yielded the vision that would start our evolution. It didn't come easy, but we recognized something was happening here. As we look back over our last 2 years, I feel overwhelming gratitude for how these artists entrusted Moving Music. While each has a connection to their film choice, we look between the lines and highlight the discussion within the conversation. Shaun Booker delivers wisdom filled insight, Jess Hanks gave an actor's perspective, Eric Gnezda coaches and teaches, Jason Kroninger inspires us to defeat self-imposed obstacles, and Paul Cunningham reminds us to always offer a kind hand. We certainly had started a paradigm shift in these first 5 of "The Previous Fifteen". TC

Episode 40: Kelly Bowman - "Sling Blade"
Not often does a script deliver like "Sling Blade". Some messages in the film are obvious, while others require multiple screenings. The genius of the writing is its simplicity. The complication is the audience. I won’t spoil it here, but just try not finding yourself somewhere inside the parable. Kelly Bowman is the definition of perseverance. A professional who is genuinely dedicated to the tasks she takes on. Her roles include survivor, mother, writer, singer, entrepreneur, psychic, and friend. She has lived a clandestine past, as only a few knew her story, until now. Moving Music peels back each layer as we dive into her life, career(s), and love for the arts. TC

Episode 39: Mark Rhodes - "The Jerk"
In the summer of 1982 I was playing Atari when I heard grand laughter coming from the living room. Not wanting to miss out on the joke, I ran into the room to find everyone in stitches and "The Jerk" on HBO. The original Saturday Night Live cast were comedy pioneers, and many, like Steve Martin, found their work climbing into the film world. "The Jerk" is humor at its finest, and one of the first from that group. Mark Rhodes is one of the great surprises for me in this Moving Music journey. When we met, the first thing I noticed was his infectious laugh. Mark is a unique comedy and musical talent, so it is no surprise that Steve Martin and "The Jerk" was an influence. It has been a while since our last sit down in episode 3, so Ty and I felt it was time for another. We also, as is our custom on the 2nd sit, get to hear an original song. TC

Episode 38b: Dr. Phill Wilson - "Spartacus"
Stanley Kubrick is the Holy Grail for most modern film makers. It has been said that one of his films is like ten from any other director. The film of our focus, "Spartacus", furthered his reputation for being meticulous and unrelenting. This gladiator turned freedom fighter story influenced many long after Kubrick’s passing. It also smuggles in many social messages. Missing a consistent "father", I would have been lost without the composite of benevolent men like Dr. Phill Wilson. I learn from him with every interaction. He taught this student that life is collaboration. "We all have a purpose and a part to play" he would say. An accomplished performing artist who could teach from first-hand experience, this humble man would give many a true North on the compass of life. As a Fort Hayes Theater Instructor, he sang, acted, and taught his way into our minds and hearts. Moving Music is proud to present this 2 part discussion with Dr. Phill Wilson. TC

Episode 37b: Matt Mees - "The Wizard of Oz"
PART 2 In 1939 Hollywood had its greatest year. Ten years into The Great Depression, the population had a grand love affair with a movie that journeyed beyond reality. Through the years, it has been proven timeless as a children’s story, a philosophical metaphor, and as a musical influence. To many of us, it represents all that was pure during an innocent time. “The Wizard of Oz” is perhaps the most viewed film in history and the subject of our current focus. I like vertical conversations that reach for purpose rather than horizontally chasing its tail. Just after our time with Jason Kroniger, I had such a conversation with Matt Mees. Jason was headed to Florida with Matt’s daughter, Melissa, to start a new life together. During the farewell party, mister Mees and I had an elevated and revealing conversation. I knew he was perfect for our purpose. Please join us for this 2 part episode with longtime Columbus artist, Matt Mees. TC

Episode 36: Jimmy Mak - "Horse Feathers"
What’s funny? It’s subjective, right? Before television, before movies, traveling vaudeville acts carried the same humor from coast to coast. When motion pictures (later with sound) showed up, these acts became recorded history. The Marx Brothers packaged their brand of vaudeville humor inside this cinematic Trojan horse. These brothers, each displaying a unique character, did it with unmatched genius. “Horse Feathers” is a film I still laugh with to the point of snot bubbles. It’s debatable whether this film could be made today given a certain perpetually “offended” audience, but it was done yesterday and it’s damn funny. It has been over 20 years since I met Jimmy Mak. I was a live TV director and he was a budding writer with Shadowbox Live. Jimmy has the challenging task of writing comedy for today’s kind of funny. To know the Marx Brothers is to know brother Mak. Through the years their influence has shown up in his work. I was not surprised when he chose to share his fondness for their film “Horse Feathers”. Moving Music invites you to listen as we discuss Marx Brother humor, Shadowbox Live, and life. TC

Episode 35: Missie Tong - "The Decline of Western Civilization part 2: The Metal Years”
I would race home after school to watch a half hour of 80’s metal music on MTV every day. The REAL good stuff was on a weekend night going into the morning hours. I saw some of the most amazing music videos of my life. Then, out of nowhere, 80’s metal seemed to “jump the shark”. The sound, the look, and the quality began to dive. Nothing was new, the genre didn’t evolve, and it all grew wider not taller. Director Penelope Spheeris held up a mirror to the sunset strip scene in “The Decline of Western Civilization part 2: The Metal Years”. She examined the over-the-top results of this metal decade. When a person exhibits an eye for capturing the essence of a moment I take notice.  Missie Tong has that ability. Her photography actually speaks; it says words, a thousand of them. She tells whole stories through this visual medium. I wanted to know her narrative. Moving Music sat with her and discussed everything from 80’s metal, her effort as a drummer, her marriage to Jeff, to those pictures worth a thousand words. Buckle up buttercup as we ride into “The Decline of Western Civilization part 2: The Metal Years”. TC

Episode 34b: Bill Foley - "Gettysburg"
PART 2 It has been said the hardest fought battles are those among brothers. By mid-19th century America this national sibling scrap reached fever pitch. In 1993, “Gettysburg” was the most ambitious attempt to depict the battle that changed the tide of our Civil War. I watched it on the big screen with big tears in my eyes. I have walked that battlefield and wondered how I might have died. This movie takes you there. Bill Foley has been a close Ft. Hayes brother since we met at the Funny Bone in 1989. Through the years our lives have weaved and we share a grand love of Civil War history. He took me to where this film was made and helped me understand. Walking the battlefield with Bill is truly rewarding. His music takes you on a Rock’n’Roll journey and you yell out “Oh my god I love that song”. He taught me how to be in this professional artistic world. Moving Music welcomes you into this candid dialog with Bill Foley about work, life, and his passion for the film “Gettysburg”. TC

Episode 33b: Joe Viers - "The Shawshank Redemption"
PART 2 Hope through hopelessness can mean the difference between life and death. Those who give hope and help to others are among our best. “The Shawshank Redemption” is such a story. While poorly received in the theaters, it became the next year’s video rental hit. It rose to the top as the uplifting tale about one’s decision to “get busy living, or get busy dying”. A powerhouse script crafted from a Stephen King effort, this film defies the chains of despair and defines true freedom. Joe Viers is the name I kept hearing. The stories of how he helped others realize their musical identity became commonplace. I had heard the results of his influential creations, but never really sat with the man. There are several local artistic gems this city offers, but none quite as unique as Mr. Viers. His pride is in the collaborative effort. Never seeking credit, he selflessly helps others realize their own voice and vision. It seems fitting that “The Shawshank Redemption” is his film. Moving Music is proud to offer this 2-part sit down with Columbus icon, Joe Viers. TC
