Filmmaker Biography:
Johnny Allen Shaw was born on the edge of an urban Indian reservation; a latch-key kid and only child to a single mother — a nurse in a psychiatric hospital. With his grandfather’s alcoholism, Johnny left home around age 14 and wandered drunk and homeless from coast to coast for 15 years before he managed to quit drinking, go to college and come up from the streets — for a minute.

Fully schooled in digital arts and a qualifying musician, Johnny headed back to the streets to find his way — without alcohol — and serve as an example to other street people. After experimenting with several ways of “making it” with no place to keep anything, he found that a laptop and camcorder were the only logical things to own due to their portability, re-charge-ability, their general synergy and the fact that their resulting product (video) was also a virtual inventory that could be burned to order right out of the laptop. Here was a walking factory with no overhead.

Now he has two, feature documentaries under his belt, worldwide distribution and the respect of his community. This from the once drunken runaway form the reservation.

1966 album For the Night People

After 1959′s excellent Julie…at Home, a small-group West Coast session cut in her own living room, Julie London’s albums became increasingly orchestral and less jazzy during the first half of the ’60s. While many of these albums are excellent (particularly Around Midnight), most weren’t up to her best recordings from the 1950s. Then, in 1965 something changed, and stripped-down jazz backings reappeared on her albums until her notorious final disc went soft rock with a vengeance in 1969. For this album, the West Coast arranger and bass player Don Bagley combines an excellent jazz trio with subtle string charts that never swamp the intimate feeling of the disc. London came to fame by recording stripped-down sessions with just guitar and bass, so it makes sense that on For the Night People, an unidentified jazz guitarist gets to solo throughout the album. A typically low-key and melancholy session, standout tracks include a languid reading of the usually manic “Won’t You Come Home Bill Bailey” and two songs made famous by Frank Sinatra — “Saturday Night (Is the Loneliest Night in the Week)” and “I’ll Never Smile Again.” This album is a must-have for Julie London fans and thankfully she worked with Bagley again on the more upbeat but no-less-languid Nice Girls Don’t Stay for Breakfast, which keeps the guitar heard here, but after the title track replaces the strings with a jazz organ and horn.

When you think of the East Coast you usually think of big cities, but there are many natural areas that have been set aside as well. Our adventure begins in Virginia Beach as we follow the coast south through the Outer Banks of North Carolina. This is where the Wright Brothers made their first flight and where we try our hand at hang-gliding, take a 4-wheel adventure along the beach to find Wild Mustangs, and explore the many lighthouses the dangerous coastlines famous for. A scenic ferry ride takes us and our RV back to the mainland where we head to South Carolina and Myrtle Beach. Just outside of Charleston we take a kayak trip to an island with a pelican rookery. At Hilton Head we find wild dolphins, painted buntings, and take a trip on a shrimp boat to learn how one of our favorite foods is harvested.

One-third of all the saltwater marshes along the East Coast are located in Georgia. An eco-tour explains how important the marsh is to the creatures that inhabit it, like oysters, crabs, wading birds, and manatees. On Sapalo Island we learn its history of plantations and slaves. A hike around Cumberland Island reveals its miles of beautiful beaches. We follow famous highway A1A south along the Florida coast stopping at historic St. Augustine to see the Fountain of Youth. The Kennedy Space Center is world famous but did you know that the surrounding Merritt Wildlife Refuge is a natural hot spot bursting with wildlife? Nearby we observe the age old ritual of the giant loggerhead turtle coming back to the beach to lay its eggs.

The Everglades is the place to visit for natural wonders. The national park is one of the most unusual in the country. Alligators and crocodiles are king here along with hundreds of other species of wildlife. The drive over the bridges of the Florida Keys is a spectacular display of colorful water and sand. Along the way we scuba dive with sharks, catch giant tarpon, film the endangered Key Deer, kayak through mangroves, and take an ultra-light flight. Our journey ends in quirky Key West with a trip to the beautiful Dry Tortugas. The East Coast contains many natural wonders that most people are not aware of, come along for the ride!
