My wife Lisa and I went to the "Orlando Film Festival" last night and saw Sammy's documentary, "Go There Once, Be There Twice" directed by Gil Bettman. Sammy's film was what drew us to the festival.
It was great! Really captured Sammy and his lifestyle, history, and philosophy. Sammy, as always, was a great storyteller in the film and just seems like the most real and sincere guy you'd ever meet. The live footage was great, also profiles/interviews of the Wabo's, and Michael Anthony, and Sammy's lovely wife Kari.
Makes us want to plan our next vacation real soon.
My favorite parts, besides the performance clips (which included some terrific vintage footage) was hearing Sammy talk about his Mom and the incredible work ethic she instilled in him and I am sure in all of her children, and his honesty about his challenges with his career, business ventures, and how his ability to hang in there led to ultimate successes. The Red Rocker still knows how to have fun and brings us along for the ride. If you get a chance or check this film out, all fans will enjoy it. Also, but I'm sure you already know that Chickenfoot III is fantastic!! The track 'Bigfoot' is the best song I have heard in years, from any band.
