The Nighthawks have also been quite busy recording music for the Todd  
Haynes HBO mini series, "
Mildred Pierce starring Kate Winslet, airing in March.

And filming/recording music for the 2nd season of HBO's Golden Globe  
winner, Boardwalk Empire.

You are THE MAN, Vince. Have to tell you that 2 years ago, an  
acquaintance of mine who is negative about the OKOM scene in the USA  
said you were all washed up because the audience for your music would  
soon be dead. I laughed and said, you should see the young swing  
dancers that gravitate to his band.

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
