The Jill Jack Story Trailer

Tuesday - June 12th, 2012 10:13 AM

In January of 2012 I had the great pleasure of meeting Emmy Award Winning Producer Keith Famie through my friend Stewart Francke. Keith was completing a documentary called One Soldier’s Story and needed one more song for a scene. He chose my song “Stirs My Soul”. We presented a clip of the documentary at my sold out Birthday Bash show at the Ark in January 2012. During the time working together we became instant friends. Keith had talked about possibly using some of the footage from my show for an idea for a documentary on independent musicians. After shadowing me for the next few months, during which was probably the most hectic time in my career - the release of my cd “Sunflower Girl”, Keith changed the direction of the documentary from independent artists to a documentary about my musical journey. To say the least I am overwhelmed at the prospect of this and in awe of the pace Mr. Famie and his team at Visionalist Entertainment Production works! Here is the trailer of what will be “Live Like There’s No Tomorrow – The Jill Jack Story”.

Subject: Smokefree Michigan on it's way - House Commerce Committee Sends HB 4163 to House Floor Hi Everyone: This morning, the Michigan state House Commerce Committee voted 12 to four in favor of House Bill 4163, which would make all Michigan worksites, including restaurants and bars, smokefree! The bill exempts cigar bars and tobacco retail establishments in Michigan. HB 4163 will now be sent to the House floor to be taken up (then hopefully sent to the Senate and the Governor). This is a big win for the Campaign for Smokefree Air and all of our tireless advocates - like you! We appreciate all of your effort and assistance in getting this bill passed in committee. We will keep you posted on HB 4163's journey through the House and hopefully the Senate. Best, Amanda Amanda Vasas John Bailey & Associates, Inc. Public Relations 101 S. Washington Sq.
