Don, I'm just curious about the movie 'Soul Men 2008' shot in Shreveport. Do you know if they used any locals? ...with a speaking part?.....any local musicians? Is Shreveport used frequently as a 'backdrop' site for a movie shoot? Is it considered a boost to the local economy or would the 'locals' just as soon they shot someplace else? Just curious. I was in Dorothy Parker's 'The Big Blonde' (obviously not in the lead role ) with Sally Kellerman and John Lithgow. I was the piano player in the trio backing up Sally in the nightclub scene. About seven days of shooting (mostly sitting around waiting) for about 30 seconds of on-screen time. The cutting room floor is not kind. This was @ 1980. Still available on video if anyone is interested in how handsome I am/was .
