The artists who collaborated here on Crystal, the illustrated woman, are me, Dave Hanley, of the Dave Hanley Band, who was but starting learn the guitar in 1992 when this photo taken of our canvas, and producer with Randy Magnus, Crystal Ludlow (now Sinclair) of the Post Newsweek Cable Modesto access TV series, In the Artist's Studio.  Crystal was the host. 

Fellow Artist, videographer, documentary film maker Randy Magnus did the production of my first and only Art/Music video by taking a montage of shots of my portfolio, nearly 340 images, and overblending them on three tracks, to what now might be similar to a power point merge of images, but in 1992 state of the art.   With my piano prominent in the studio where we shot the interview, Crystal doing the emcee, me mumbling my thoughts, Randy asked me if I could fill 38 minutes with piano playing as a background, and I did, though long out of practice,  a rambling production I would like to now possess on a dvd conversion from my only copy of the video.

Only one I can promote on this with a link, is Dave Hanley band, http://www.davehanleymusic.com  who I might pick for more dynamic background, but likely have to pay these days.   Many thanks to Crystal and Randy who got me some needed exposure, and some TV airing and my first venture into multi media.
