Time of a fun little story about TV. I was one of 30 people selected from the original mp3.com to be part of the season's sound track for the SciFi Channel's series First Wave. For weeks I was so excited. I thought they would be featuring my playing prominently under a scene, like Jan Hammer on Miami Vice. The day finally came. Turns out I was coming out of a portable radio nearly drowned out by traffic from a nearby highway as a character bounced a ball off the side of his Airstream for about 10 seconds before they faded to commercial! And to add insult to injury they left my name off the credits, crediting only the songwriter. And that song writer was even more let down, they didn't play one second of his vocal!
