Kickstarter Project of Note: The Viking of 6th Avenue

Here's a Kickstarter project I can really get behind, and I'm very excited about! The Viking of 6th Avenue sets out to tell the story of Moondog - one of the more interesting 20th century musicians to fall between the cracks of jazz and classical music, not mention art, so called counterculture, and a whole host of other genres & possibilities. Watch the trailer below, and click the links to watch & support them! Their monetary goal seems high from what I usually see, but perhaps that speaks to the possible quality of the finished product.

Attention filmmakers: One tiny request - will you be making an actual DVD of the final cut available at all?

NYNS - Up Broadway with Moondog

Moondog's story is long and fascinating. Most well known, perhaps, as the crazy blind dude who dressed like a viking, and hung out around the corner of 52nd Street and 6th Avenue, he really was a composer, musician, poet, and inventor. Before his death in 1999, he managed to record over a dozen albums in his life, and has become renowned as an influence on many contemporary musicians and even DJ's. In "Up Broadway," it's easy to imagine being in his shoes, and hearing what he must have heard while standing around in midtown Manhattan.
