Pure Imagination

R.I.P. Gene Wilder (1933-2016)

This week on the Stephens’ Music Company Northwest Georgia Music Hour, Stu and I enjoyed kicking back and listening to as much local music as we could fit into an hour. We also took some time to reflect on the passing of Gene Wilder. About a month ago we were thrilled to be joined by Jason L. Smith, who performed “Pure Imagination” live on the air. It was magic, and we thought we should revisit that moment in honor of Mr. Wilder. Here’s what we heard.

Benjamin.K – The Last Ones
Tina & The Goose – Irma
Ellie Lawrence – Bare Knuckles
David Bell – King of Nothing
Michael Teague – Twisted Life
Jason L. Smith – Pure Imagination
Clay Broome – Umbrella Eyes
The Kamikaze Dali – The Creature
Shane West – One Big Heart
