A filmmaker named Jan Kroll made a surfing video titled "Story Through My Eyes". The lead-off tune (it re-appears) is our own Shawn Martin's "Hurricane Ashley" taken from our 2005 Mp3 comp.
Congrats Shawn!

Thats very cool! Good for Shawn! I thought that song was one of the best on that comp -
Hey Shawn, did the guy approach you about using the tune?

Potenially dumb question---but I just got a new computer, and all I see is a blank window where the video should be. Is there a certain plug-in I need to download?

I think it was QuickTime (unfortunately).

Marty Tippens has a song on that film too - El Combanchero. One of the other really great tracks from that comp.

Hey Chris,
Yeah, Jan contacted me through Brian a few months ago and asked if it'd be ok to use it. It's very cool, especially considering how raw my recording was!

Yes, I forgot about Marty's tune being in here also. Jan contacted me and asked about Shawn and Marty. Congrats again!

Congrats guys! I probably haven't listened to that comp in at least 3 years, but those two songs were good enough standouts that I could still remember them by name before going back for another listen. Cool deal!
