(A Remarkable Life (2013) | imdb.com
Directed by Vohn Regensburger. With Chris Bruno, Marie Avgeropoulos, Daphne Zuniga, Mark Margolis. There are many things in life that could do a number on a man’s masculinity. Lenny Babbitt has his identity and manhood challenged when his wife Tracy leaves him for a female doctor named Iris who has been treating their autistic son Isaac. After losing his job, and wife to a woman no less — Lenny’s dad Jack offers him a job at his pawn shop where he must re-examine his identity, manhood and sense of self after meeting Chelsea, a young, free-spirited pistol that lives life on two wheels. In the end, Lenny realizes that there are no absolutes… only one’s faith, sense of self and family — no matter how it’s constituted or defined by society.

. . . Amanda Williams Gets a Shout Out from Garth Brooks on CBS.com! When asked “Who should we keep an ear out for? What up-and-comers are you following inside and outside of country music?”, Garth had this to say: “Kim Williams’ daughter, Amanda, is an unbelievable talent… I would put her as a blend between something very new and current that my youngest girls would listen to… and the Dixie Chicks kind of sound… very cutting edge… she’s fantastic!”

How cool is that? You can watch the entire Q&A with Garth Brooks here: http://www.cbs.com/connect/events/archive/35/

[Editor’s note: Amanda presented two very informative, interesting and entertaining workshops for COMBO at the Colorado Sound Studios on September 30th and October 1st. Just think – you had YOUR chance to meet her then before she gets “big”!]
