Synopsis
McCartney: The Hunt for the Lost Bass
For over fifty years, the disappearance of Paul McCartney’s original Höfner bass has been one of rock ‘n’ roll’s enduring mysteries. The Hunt for the Lost Bass tells the extraordinary story of this iconic instrument, and the fan powered quest to find it.
The Maestro: King of the Cowboy Artists
What happens when a dedicated husband and father quits his job, adopts the persona of a Western-Movie Singing Cowboy, takes on the entire art establishment (including Christo and Andy Warhol), and refuses to accept money for his art ? Meet Gerry Gaxiola, AKA The Maestro, an ex-wage slave who gave up everything to make art for art's sake. The Maestro's story could inspire a whole new generation of Van Goghs.
