A few months ago I ran into Don Chaffer at Conception Abbey. While we were catching up on what we were into at the time, Don started telling me about his work on musical theater projects. I knew Don from years of running into each other on the road w\/our respective bands. Moreover, I\u2019d never known what the process of writing and producing a musical was like. Don taught me that writers and producers of plays and musicals run a phenomenal gauntlet in order to get a musical to the big stage in New York City. It was really fun to peek behind the process \u2013 terribly different than rock and roll. Don & Lori are both so uniquely talented that it\u2019s hard not to simply assume they\u2019ll eventually make it all the way to Broadway, but now I know that it\u2019s such a tough, competitive experience that it ends up being a little bit like winning the lottery. So maybe you\u2019ll want to give them a helping hand.\n

I love musicals \u2013 especially the Broadway experience. Kristin and I have seen somewhere around 25 musicals in NYC over the past ten or fifteen years. There\u2019s nothing quite like it. It will be even more amazing to get to watch something written and shepherded through the process by a friend.\u00a0Son of a Gun is a musical Don is working on \u2013 he\u2019s the composer and lyricist, and seems to be a part of a pretty amazing team. The theater attempting to stage the play is raising funds to finish the production. Take a look at this video and maybe you\u2019ll consider helping to fund the initial production.<\/div>\n
