Mind The Gap

If you're looking for a wonderful, heart-warming story, with lives being intertwined with amazing grace and honesty, see "Mind The Gap". I spend a lot of nights in hotel rooms just waiting for morning and another days work. While channel surfing I stopped at the sight of Alan King shuffling down a New York street. I spent the next couple of hours or so in total awe at the basket being made before my eyes. I wasn't even sure what I was seeing but I knew it was going to be a piece of art when it was finished, and I was right. I did not know until I did some internet digging the name of the movie, or the fact that it was Mr. King's last. He was an amazing talent. Oh, and the music is most awesome and entertaining as well. Jill Soublue is VERY entertaining, and very easy listening. I'm buying the DVD, the music, and anything else I can think of. If you haven't seen this movie, and enjoy a great heart-warming story, see it soon!!
