Episode 47: Chris Steberl - "Amadeus"
Director Milos Forman is in rare company with two Best Picture films. Moving Music now looks into his 2nd, "Amadeus". No matter the century, time offers proof that some are just simply born with it. Composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart could imagine, interpret, and then paint fantastical pictures for ears that would bend minds. To the dismay of his contemporaries, he bypassed the stage of protégé as the prodigy of his time; he only lived 35 years. Many were appalled by his early immature approach to musical art, yet none could deny the opulent result; composing works that others couldn’t as they hugged tradition. However, fame did not come to him until well after his death. Only Milos could bring this story of jealousy, competition, and genius into focus. While Chris Steberl would admit he didn’t always see the guitar path, it’s a certainty that Van Halen caught his young radar. Years later, the film "Amadeus" would shape the direction his guitar yearned to take him. Chris is one of this city’s most respected guitar virtuosos. Whether as a band’s six stringer, a studio musician, or collaborating for his "Project Alcazar" original work, his quest to compose a fantastical picture echoes from past genius. Please join us for an hour as we reveal his motivations, thoughts, and how he got that Cookie Monster guitar. TC

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

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

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

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

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

1985 was the summer of MTV. The “Pepsi generation” celebrated the heat with Miami Vice, Live Aid, and an unprecedented number of music video styled films. Released on July 3rd, the music of “Back to the Future” had claimed its summer soundtrack role. With a mix of wondrous technology, pop music, and our fascination with time travel, this movie cemented its spot in ‘80s lore. Robert McFarland is a child of the ‘80s. Like most teenagers, he couldn’t wait to watch MTV. The muscle of “The Power of Love” by Huey Lewis and the 1950’s staple “Johnny B. Goode” assisted in Robert’s musical awareness. It planted the seed that years later would become his fantasy turned reality. With a collaborative spirit Robert brought fellow artists along for his own recorded journal. Simply titled “Rock N Roll”, his double album was crafted as a shared experience. Now, Robert McFarland reveals his ongoing connection to the film that moved him, “Back to the Future”. TC

Known for the tragic loss of actor/martial artist Brandon Lee during production, this film is eerie yet reassuring. If merciless cruelty befalls us as we pass, is it really possible to gain divine justice? This story explores that avenging fantasy that so many believe is possible. Paul Cunningham is a name I kept hearing during our 1st year. His need for creative expression opened the media avenues of photography, film, and video in addition to music and sound. As I watched and listened to his art, I realized Paul’s talent must have a unique story behind it all.

In the heat of the 1987 July sun, “The Lost Boys” came to the theater. Dripping with MTV swagger, it melted screens nationwide, while continuing a string of successful, ‘80’s music video influenced films. That same year, I had become a very pop culture aware future Ft. Hayes student. While flawed, as a pop vampire film, it has grown to iconic status with a soundtrack that bleeds. It’s a great ride, somewhat predictable, but cool as hell… or maybe even cooler. What can I say, Ft. Hayes changed many lives. I have run into so many of my Ft. Hayes kin that I truly believe we are our own force. Jason Kroninger graduated after Ty Barnes and I, but we hold to the same ethic that is, well, Ft. Hayes. I have had many conversations with Jason over the years, but this is the first time on record. He is an amazing 2 and 3 dimensional artist. Providing a very unique, industry insider perspective on this film, Jason reveals his craft, as well as himself.

Episode 27: Jess Hanks - "Audition"
Every once in a while you see a movie that grabs you and burns its way through your mind. “Audition” is one of those films for me. I hadn’t seen it until now and I know I won’t forget it. It’s a Japanese love story that turns into a psychological thriller, which takes a horror twist, just to end up a love story at the end. Films like this don’t come around often, and this one leaves an imprint. Jess Hanks is an artist with several platforms. He studied acting and spent the necessary time in New York City to learn and shape the craft. His vocal abilities are on display as one of the two singers for “The Martini Affair”. He also writes and plays original music. I first met him while celebrating the inaugural Moving Music release. When asked, Jess didn’t hesitate to name “Audition” as one of the movies that moved him. Please join us for a unique film and artist. TC

Episode 26: Shaun Booker - "August Rush"
Sometimes we find needed inspiration from the most simple of concepts. Music connects us. That is the comforting truth that the film “August Rush” carries. With an “Oliver Twist” like tale, we go through a child’s journey to find his parents, and the parent’s journey to find purpose. In 2007, amid personal struggles, “August Rush” was a ray of hope and the positive motivation Shaun Booker needed to persevere. Since that time, Shaun has become an international artist and teaches the language of music to new students, young and old. It’s been over a year since our last Moving Music conversation, so we settled back, and dove into the movie that showed up for her just in time. TC
