The Cast of Junk performing Finally. (C) 2015 Butterfly Moo | Plastic Moon
From the album Junk (Original Cast Recording), available on iTunes.
The Original Cast of Junk recorded 13 songs for the soundtrack from the Bass/Hartman musical comedy that premiered with a sold-out run in The Firemen’s Kitchen at Hickory Theatre. Directed by Pamela Livingstone. Developed for the Stage at Hickory Arts & Hickory Theatre.
Track 13, “Finally,” the finale (see what we did there?), sews everything together. It reminds us that no matter where you are, there you are. You can’t run or hide from your problems. “It’s up to you.” What are you waiting for?
The album is available on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify and more. Physical CD’s can be purchased at Hickory Arts and through Molly Bass.

This is the oldest picture of Shannon Underwood, to my left, and me together I could find; from “The Producers” in September 2008. The first time I met her was earlier that year at an audition. She sang “So Much Better” from Legally Blonde! There wasn’t a person in the room that could touch her talent and not much has changed, except to say she has the skills and experience to support that God-given talent. Meeting Shannon, and investing in her as an artist and, more importantly as a friend, is one of the best things that’s ever happened to me. I’m so grateful to Susan and Dennis for believing in our family and our relationship with Shannon. We’ve been through a lot together. “I am so much better than before” Shannon. Break legs in Legally Blonde at Hickory Theatre, Harley! I love you.
