Don Hammontree with his family |
The Belmont Club in Fall River, Massachusetts - USA was the happening place to be on Saturday June 25th and Bollyvista was there! The official launching of Don Hammontree's 'The Mumbai EP' CD commenced at 9 PM with a celebration of acoustic music between two very creative and talented musicians Don Hammontree and Angelo Marinosci Jr. Besides some selections from his two previous CDs ('This' (1999) and 'Mount Hope Days' (2003)), Don also performed all the songs from his 'The Mumbai EP' CD. His favorites are The Queen's Necklace (the nickname for Marine Drive in Mumbai, one of the city's most popular seaside promenades, pictured on the front cover of Hammontree's CD) and the ones he wrote for Bollywood actresses Juhi Chawla (titled Juhi Chawla) and Karisma Kapoor (titled Karisma Comes To Lowell).
The other three songs on the CD are Ankle Chains (originally recorded by Don and his band Six Feet Over), No Turning Back (a haunting piano instrumental) and Subterranean Homesick Indian (an awesome guitar instrumental). "'The Mumbai EP' is a pretty solid work. I just hope everyone else thinks so." Don laughs. "Especially Juhi and Karisma." Don's wife Rachel (whose favorite Bollywood actor is Aamir Khan) and daughter Liliana were there to give their support and encourage the special man in their lives as they sat in the closest seats to him during his performance. |
