Roger McGuinn finally shows the long lost "Eight Miles High" home movie


Roger McGuinn takes a trip down memory lane:

In 1965, The Byrds' Gene Clark, Roger McGuinn, and David Crosby wrote the song Eight Miles High about their plane trip to England. Two years later, the group returned to London and McGuinn took along his home movie camera. Editing inside the camera, McGuinn created a one-take short film that Paul McCartney called "brilliant." In this Growing Bolder exclusive, McGuinn tells the story of this historic film -- and then shows it!

Peasant: On the Ground

Peasant

Peasant is the nom de plume of Damien DeRose, currently based in Doylestown, PA. He writes melancholy folk songs for the alt.country crowd. The songs on is album On the Ground are acoustic guitar driven. It never speaks up and there is no need for that -- Damien DeRose can get his message across by keeping his singing at conversation level.

On the Ground is released on Paper Garden Records.
