This musical adaptation of the Studs Terkel book examines the average worker’s viewpoint–showing that he or she is anything but average. Based on a series of interviews with real working people–construction workers, waitresses, firemen, secretaries and cleaning women–”Working” is both an exploration of the individuals’ occupations and a lament for lost hopes and dreams. This musical adaptation was conceived by Stephen Schwartz (Godspell, Pippin). A must for all musical theatre buffs.

After 25 chart-topping hits, the singing star becomes a movie star! George Strait makes his film debut in an entertaining look into the heart and soul of country music from Young Guns director Christopher Cain.

Superstar Dusty Chandler (Strait) is tired of the smoke, the strobe lights and the overmiked sound of his arena spectaculars. One night, something snaps. “I’m just going to take a little walk,” Dusty says as he walks out of the empty hall, ditching his beard, ponytail - and temporarily, his career - to reclaim his down-home country roots. But his manager (Leslie Ann Warren) retaliates: a stand-in (Kyle Chandler) lip-synchs his songs in concert. And a romance with a lovely rancher (Isabel Glasser) is on again, off again like a rodeo cowboy. The simple life can be complex, but it’s nothing a revitalized country boy can’t handle!

Some of the most unforgettable popular songs in American musical history were written in the early years of the 20th century. Guitar ace Ernie Hawkins has made arrangements of four classic pop songs that are perfect for the alternate-thumb fingerpicking method known as Piedmont Style. Working through each of these wonderful songs - When the Red, Red Robin Comes Bob, Bob, Bobbin Along (Harry Woods), The Charleston (James P. Johnson), Rockin Chair (Hoagy Carmichael) and Glory of Love (William Hill) - will increase your knowledge of the guitar and provide hours of fun. Ernie takes apart each of these songs, note-for-note and measure-for-measure, showing the chord shapes, bass and melody lines, licks and rhythms that bring each one to life. By picking these with the traditional steady bass and syncopated melody technique, you ll develop a style that will be great for solo performances or jamming with other players. Ernie builds on the techniques he developed on his hugely successful C-A-G-E-D System DVD lessons, and these wonderful arrangements will add immeasurably to your skills and repertoire.
