"FIRST TUESDAYS AT RONNIE MACKS BARN DANCE" DVD
  Since 1988 Ronnie Mack has marshaled forward the Los Angeles roots and alt.country scene with his once-a-month Ronnie Mack's Barn Dance. Filmed in 2003, this Jim Hollander documentary features performances and interviews with Dwight Yoakam, Dave Alvin, Rosie Flores, Big Sandy, James Intveld, Mike Stinson and more. The artists' affection for Mack is evident as they speak of his tireless efforts promoting the local roots scene solely for the love of the music. Mack is one of those figures who is already part of local legend. Hollander's documentary preserves the story for future generations of roots music lovers.
