Current Notes:

2003 Los Angeles Holiday Caroling:

Nan&Alex
On December 7th, 2003, Alex and I had the most rewarding evening with some of the finest players around L.A. or anywhere, for that matter.
This hip bunch of players sang and partied Christmas-style at 3 different retirement homes in the San Fernando Valley—organized by one terrific guy, Vincent J. Leinen .

We sang all the great xmas carols and lots of Hannukah songs.
There were a few WW 11 veterans at each retirement home, and Vincent thanked them each time for fighting for freedom and for us, to bring us here to this moment in 2003. Beautiful.

Thank you,
Vincent.

Now, afficionados, check out who’s who in this photo:

Another nice development has been the recent release of our VH1 movie into video rental stores all over the world. It can be purchased now for your private collection from various other sources, too. Check your favorite search engine for “Sweetwater: A True Rock Story” to find a merchant.

Some History:

For those of you hitting us up for the first time, a re-cap. VH-1 has produced an original feature film about Sweetwater entitled- - - guess what, “Sweetwater, a True Rock Story.” It deals quite a bit with Nancy’s life as it evolved around the group.

Building on the enormous success of their behind-the-scenes documentaries, VH-1 has now moved into the production of original movies. Our docu-drama/ telefilm, as it is called, is their flagship release.
The movie premiered on August 15, 1999. It incorporates a mixture of musicians and TV & film personalities playing the real us. Amy Jo Johnson (“Felicity” TV series) and Michelle Phillips will be playing Nancy. Also on board are Frederick Forrest, Kelli Williams (“The Practice”), and Adam Ant. VH-1 plans to air the movie 8- 10 times the first year, and 10 times annually over the next 3 years.

Also shown were two documentaries : "Where Are They Now- Woodstock," and "Behind The Movie-Sweetwater." Both of these specials were in continual rotation on VH-1 the week preceding the film's premier (08/08 thru 08/15).

The world famous "Whisky a Go Go" held a 35th anniversary music festival (Jan. 16- 23, '99) with a number of acts who had played the club during the early years. We performed there on Sunday, the 17th with a lot of other great groups and friends.
We will continue to update you right here, on other future live performances. That area is heating up fast.

For all of you who have E-mailed us, THANK YOU and YES, WE ARE RECEIVING YOU! We are responding.

If you're into vinyl, you can probably find our earlier albums in collector stores (see discography). If you like to search more, you might find us on someone's 185th generation bootleg videotape copy of film shot at Woodstock '69.
Even though we were the lead- off group, we weren't aware of how many cameras were pointed on us at the time. We started realizing this upon seeing all the different angles of us on stage from tapes of the concert that were surfacing (and still are) all over the place.

PRESS RELEASE: Nancy is considering a book deal so she can tell all the things the movie leaves out (she’s a pretty good writer, too).

THE MOVIE, THE ALBUM, THE BOOK, THE ANNIVERSARY, and who knows, maybe before too long, we’ll be coming your way in the flesh. A lot happening.

KEEP IN TOUCH.
