Recording “Take Time To Be Holy”
By Lyle Hadlock Composer

yle Hadlock is a local musician/songwriter-arranger, who found a niche in recording inspirational-instrumental songs built around his piano arrangements. “Whenever I go into the studio to record, I don’t know before hand what I’m going to come out with on 95% of my piano playing. Whenever I attempt to read from music while recording, a lot of the feeling is lost, so I do on the spot/ in the moment creating.” Lyle admits he’s quite a procrastina-

tor. The catalyst that got him recording was the death of his nephew nine years ago. “I sat in a darkened room one night after work, before going to my nephews viewing thinking of how short this life is. That’s when I picked up the phone and scheduled an appointment with a local recording studio. I recorded my first CD a week before Thanksgiving to share with people for Christmas.” It was from the proceeds of this first piano CD that Lyle was able to build a nest egg and start recording instrumental CDs, with an emphasis of inspirational music from the
Protestant and Mormon hymnals, with hints of well know classical music integrated into the arrangements. Since Lyle’s first CD he has been able to record seven more. In trying to think of a way to share them with as many people as possible, he provided them as an option to a Tomato plant, or petunia as mother’s day gifts to the mothers in Mormon congregations on Mother’s Day. He now has a web site www. lylehadlockmusic.com, where people can go to listen to his music, as well as buy it. “I have been blessed in being able to share what I consider a gift from God with many people.” The real pay off he says has been the intimate emails and letter responses from people who’s lives have been touched and comforted by his soothing arrangements. If he doesn’t procrastinate, Lyle hopes to have a new Christmas CD out for 2013 and if he really gets on the ball, have a live concert after Thanksgiving to debut the new CD.
LOCAL FILMMAKER’S NEXT FILM HAS A STORY NEVER BEFORE TOLD ON FILM By Brendon Porter Movie Producer
N
athan Smith Jones is a local filmmaker, having started his career making the Mormon Cinema comedy, “The Work and The Story,” (2004) the first ‘mock-umentary’ for an LDS audience. His latest film is also a unique story---so unique that in a “everything’s been done” world, the premise of Jones’ next film has never before been committed to film. It’s the story of an Arizona talkradio D.J. who awakens from a car accident with bilingual aphasia----he can only speak Spanish. “It’s pretty cool to make a movie that is at once very accessible and fun but with a premise this unique,” Jones says of his film ‘Tongue

It’s just a great, human drama with a lot of laughs,” says Jones. Through the last several years, Jones has written and re-written the script for the film to the point that he feels it’s ready, and that the search for money has been a blessing in disguise. “As we’ve looked for the funding to make the movie, we’ve been perfecting the script.” So sure is Jones about this movie’s chances on the open film market, he has invested much of his own money into it. But he’s also reaching out to the community to lend a hand. “I’ve been telling people to go to http:// indiegogo.com/tongue-tied

If it makes them laugh, make a small contribution.” With 30 days left before their deadline, they’ve reached 9% of their goal for the first phase of the movie’s funding. “The people who have been helping are not right out of film school.
