Please see it!

3. question:
The previews seem - to Ms Uly and me, anyway - to give a negative slant to adoption. Does the movie do that?

4. No, not at all.
It's about music in the way that we are connected with everyone. Uly, I know you would appreciate this movie and make you want to go home and hug your baby afterwards. I swear by all that is holy in Manuel's Tavern.

5. Question. What is a "Democratic Music Lover"?
I am heavily into Blues and Rock music and am a Democrat as well as a member of the Blues Foundation. So I am curious as to what may constitute "Democratic Music"? Was the music in "O Brother Where Art Thou" Democratic Music? Just wondering.

6. I guess I meant someone who is a Democrat and a music lover'
The movie embraces Democratic concepts and will hold a special place for music lovers... And sweet stories.

7. Oh. Ok. Thanks for the clarification
An awful lot of the musicians I know are Liberal, but may not seem like it because of the tunes or the onstage attitude. I grew up around Bluegrass music as well as folk and "Da Blues" and love it all. Anyway, I'll check the film out. Thanks for the recomendation.

8. I play bluegrass... One of my claims to fame is to have jammed with Earl Scruggs
and was invited by his wife Louise to cut some tapes at their studio in Nashville.

Didn't work out but I still love the memories.

11. "The music is all around us...
all you have to do is listen."

It is one of "those" movies. :)
