The music video for Sister Hazel singer Ken Block's debut single "I Don't Mind", off his just-released first-ever solo CD "Drift", is now online as of today. You can watch the video exclusively on http://www.windowsmedia.com/mediaguide/RockGrabBag . The video will certainly pop up elsewhere on the web and TV in the next week.
[Note: if you have trouble viewing the video on a Mac, I suggest the FlipMac plug-in for Quicktime available here, which will enable your computer to play the video in Quicktime format.]
Director Tracie Laymon shot the video a few months ago in Los Angeles and I was lucky enough to appear in the video and meet Ken. Could not have been a nicer guy. Was so nice to meet a rock and roll success story (from my home state of Florida, that obscure no-man's land of huh? no less), that could have happened to a nicer human being. Check out Ken's solo site at http://www.blockville.com to see some of the stuff this guy has done with his opportunities: all the charity work and gratitude to he and his bands' fans. Sister Hazel had a bit of a monster hit in the '90s with the song "All For You", which I myself have (probably) butchered i karaoke a few dozen times. It was great to meet him and to be a part of of such a sweet song's video.
Special note: The painting visible below the window through which Ken pops through n the video is by my friend and fellow Florida Artist Jared Whitham, who himself resided & worked in Gainesville for the last few years before relocating to New York. It was nice to be able to facilitate that "collaboration": more paintings of Jared's are visible at http://jaredwhitham.com .

That's it! Now enjoy the music.
