crazy movie, hank garland

 i watched a DVD movie in the afternoon, 'crazy', a bio-pic about nashville session guitarist hank garland. it was an indie movie from 2007. i did not recognize any of the actors in it but in the closing credits it listed shawn colvin playing kitty wells and listed shawn performing two songs as well. it had a disclaimer saying hank died just before filming began. i am familiar with how more often than not, bio-pics are about somebody that is no longer alive. i could guess what scenes were 'invented for dramatic effect'. what helped make the story more relevant to me was the performing, and the big names he performed with. the likes of elvis presley, patsy cline, and roy orbison. it was one of two movies on a disc i found at family dollar. the song 'crazy', written by willie nelson, is played during the closing credits, this is where the movie title is taken from apparently. 

the other thing i did was do my taxes, at least i filed the federal return online with h and r block. i will file the state return myself as i want to save on the filing fees. then it meant driving to a copy store to print the tax return. the refund on the state return will be more than the federal one. later in the evening i went on a walk and found 47 cents. after watching 'the simpsons' i called my college roommate, who said he was injured in a fall. and how he spent some time with his son recently.
