135 - SuperGr8, Rocktoberfest, and How a Song Is Created - September 30, 2025

This episode we celebrate creativity! We had a great Bingo Show and that energy transferred right to the podcast! We hit upon the excitement of the coming days. Rocktoberfest, a Chris Howdyshell birthday celebration, happens at Restless Moons on October 1st. And then, we are happy to help promote the SuperGr8 Film Festival back at Court Square Theater on October 4th and 5th! Last but not least, we share a sneak peak of a Chris Howdyshell song release, “The Universe,” which will be on all music platforms tomorrow! We discuss the process of how this song was produced - going from Jay’s recording space, to Ellen Atwood in New York, then off to Carl Brooks in Staunton, and finally back to Mike in Harrisonburg. Enjoy our collaborative effort of turning a Chris tune into a beautiful moment!  A Few Mentions: Ruby’s Arcade - A creative’s pizza, an artist’s basement -  https://rubysarcade.com/ Super Gr8 Film Festival 2025 - https://www.supergr8fest.com/ Rocktoberfest, October 1st at Restless Moons - https://www.facebook.com/events/restless-moons-brewing/rocktoberfest/1148951680422920/ Ivan Basil - https://www.facebook.com/ivan.basil.2025 Ellen Atwood - https://www.facebook.com/groups/108303025686440/user/1476615099/ Musiversal - Membership based service for recording resources - https://musiversal.com/ The Universe, by Chris Howdyshell, featuring Ellen Atwood - https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/chrishowdyshell/the-universe-feat-ellen-atwood
