Brittingham's - 7/8/09
I took another trip out just off the turnpike to Brittingham's in Lafayette Hill to attend a filming of Laura Cheadle for Channel 6's "Tuned In." A guy playing acoustic opened and we had plenty of time to watch the Phillies game. The cameraman from Channel 6 was supposed to be there at 10 but was attending the memorial for beloved sportscaster Gary Papa. While we were waiting Laura and her band played three covers but were running low by "Come Together, " she didn't even sing the second verse. Finally, the cameraman arrived around 10:20 and they could take a break. Certainly their performance for the camera was more important, and that took some extra time for lighting setup and another sound check. The first three songs were recorded as a full shot so they had to made sure they were tight and gave viewers a good variety of what Laura and the band do. Next they played two more songs which were partially recorded with a handheld camera with close-ups and included a pass by Laura's table which included her mother, her best friend, myself and another friend who lived nearby. We may end up on TV. Afterward, Laura sat down for the interview portion of her segment. Her friend and I acted like paparazzi and took pictures while she was getting ready. I'll link to it here after it airs and is posted on 6abc.com.
