10-5-09  Short Film: The Last First Date  Keith Morris Adds Vocals

Musician and punk icon Keith Morris has laid down vocals for the film. It's truly an honor to have Morris in this project. Having his participation only improves my vision of this film. To want a punk song for the film and to end up with Keith Morris is just spot on. All thanks to Tony Marsico for making this happen. Marsico will be arranging the tune and playing all of the other instruments... it's creative chaos waiting to happen.

Having his talent and expertise will help bring this project to yet another level.
