Noah Brooks + Greg Hydle + Joel McCormick’s 1999 Road Trip to Whistler
Season 1 – Part 1
Colorado to Multnomah Falls
DESCRIPTION:
In 1999 the three of us took off on “MY first ever” road trip from home. We packed a car full of goodies… including a full Apple G3 desktop computer setup with 17″ display + Joel’s portable TV. We didn’t have pocket cameras… we had a Sony VX1000 with a non endless supply of DV tape. If I could tell you what day we began this adventure – I would. Unfortunately I didn’t organize media (or capture it) in the 90s the way I do now. Lets just say this is sometime in the month of June of the year 1999.
DISCLAIMER:
I’m bringing this to you RAW and uncut (minus a couple bare ass noah shots) because I love seeing how we began documenting life… and what it has now transformed into.
Also… I miss all of Joels quirky antics, like his laugh and his random looks that just kinda make you smile.
Sorry for the raw language and anything that may offend anyone. We were kids. Wait… we still are. Miss you Joel.
Hope you enjoy the adventure.

In November of 2010 I had the opportunity to road trip to Lubbock, Texas to tell a story about a west texas piano player who goes by the name of Doug Smith. My only introduction to Doug prior to engaging with him at his home in Petersburg, Texas was this video above... and a minor tour through his music library from the iPod on the road trip down.
Doug was injured in a car accident in 2007 while driving home from his studio late one evening on a two lane rural Texas road. Hey lay upside down for 3 hours with a broken neck before he was found and ultimately transferred to Craig Hospital in Englewood, Colorado to continue his rehabilitation back to the piano.
As you will see in these future posts about this life changing trip to the cotton fields of west Texas, Doug Smith has since returned to the studio in a new musical form.
“You don’t need hands to play a piano… you don’t need legs either. You just need a will in your heart.”
Look for the release of Doug Smith’s first post injury album to be hit the shelves shortly after the 10th annual Craig Hospital PUSH Dinner on March 3rd, 2011 – where you will also get to view this completed video project.
For more information and tickets to the 10th annual PUSH Dinner – follow this (yet to be found) link.
