Granted, this has nothing to do the normal board stuff.  However, it has everything to do with the music for people above a certain age.  

I was a small part of the music industry in the 80's and 90's in TX.  If you need AutoTune, you don't need to be in music, IMHO.  

Thoughts from the Gallery??

I have seen it. Cool film. You'll like 'Muscle Shoals' too. About a recording studio in the south. If you like Sound City chances are you'll enjoy Muscle Shoals

LOTS of bands recorded there.  And so many good albums.  Was kind of shocked at how many.  As far as the documentary it kind of became too much of the same after about 3/4'ths the way into it.  For someone in the industry they'd really like it.

... and I also loved the soundtrack for it. A lot of great collaborations on there- Dave Grohl, Trent Reznor, Corey Taylor, Stevie Nicks.  

That place is really legendary.

"I'll Be Me".  About Glen Campbell and his progression with Altzheimers.  Great music and a very poignant story.  His daughter's testimony before congress will have you in tears.  Incidentally, Ashley Campbell is gorgeous and as talented as her father was.

"Searching for Sugarman".   About the strangest true story about a musician you will ever see.  Like the plot from a Coen Brothers movie. But absolutely true.

It was cool to see them show up in Love and Mercy too.

That was a great documentary.  I was acquainted with the late, great Earl Palmer.  What a friggin' cool guy as well as a god to all drummers.

documentary:  20 feet from stardom, about the backup singers who back famous acts, and what great singers they are individually (including the great darlene love).

along the same lines check out standing in the shadows of motown about the funk brothers, the house band for motown, also never given their due.

lastly, not a documentary, but a fictionalized account of the beginnings of chess records in chicago, check out cadillac records, with in incredible beyonce as etta james singing "at last."

I got to know a lot of musicians and friends in West Texas.  It's like it's own world for music from the 60's and beyond.  
I guess it's being in the right place at the right time in a moment in history.  I was a lucky MOFO at the time.
