New York, NY–October 23, 2006–The spirit and drive of producer/actor Emmitt Thrower allowed him to start his production company Wabi Sabi Productions.
In August 2001, Thrower had a brain stem stroke that left him unable to speak, eat, walk, stand up, or even sit up due to his affected balance. He was unable to […]

Yeah baby! This is mighty fine rockin’ blues music, yes sir! It may be that this CD portrays the other side of the fence of the unfortunate and it Ain’t No Good Life but the Rusty Wright Blues band cooks along as if they are playing their last gig and life is not so bad […]

The Long Road Home-In Concert is […]
