AS HEARD ON TV!

Our tune, "Sleepy Maggie," made the final cut of the pilot for the dramatic series on NBC called "The Black Donnellys." The pilot aired Monday, Feb. 26 at 10:00 p.m. (9:00 p.m. central) in the US. About 7 minutes into the show during the bar scene there's a brawl --"Sleepy Maggie" plays throughout the ensuing action. The show was created by Paul Haggis (Million Dollar Baby, Crash, Casino Royale) and written by Robert Moresco (Million Dollar Baby, Crash). The show was well-written, had great acting and an excellent soundtrack. ;-) We were very excited to be part of it.

Download the MP3: Sleepy Maggie--the tune is a Mad Maggiefied version of a traditional reel. Here's the video clip:



What is madness but nobility of soul at odds with circumstance?
