An original song by alt folk rock band and Hitt Music Group artist, Old Sand Mill (on OSM Records/BMI Music Int), has been commissioned by Disney TV and SSTV. The complete fun and Beatles-like tune, "Too Much Fun," appears on the end credits along with a sing along lyric scroll, on the official television pilot for the new kid's weekly educational series, "The Sun Show." The song, heard each week, features Old Sand Mill singer/songwriters Chip Miller and Michael Reynolds, as well as guest artists, mulitple Grammy winner Jerry Douglas from Alison Krauss & Union Station, Darry Jones of The Rolling Stones, the legendary Brian Wilson, r&b icon Deniece Williams, Gabe Witcher from Van Morrison and Beck's band, Karl Preusser from The String Quartet, and Earl Mankey formerly of Concrete Blonde. The song can be heard in it's entirety on Hitt Music Group as well as on their site at MySpace.com/OldSandMillriends. It can also be seen and heard, along with a mini-video, at the website for "The Sun Show" at www.sunsafetyforkids.org.
Chip Miller, singer/writer and guitarist for Old Sand Mill, and a longtime MTV/MTV2/VH-1/BET and CMT music video director, wrote the teleplay for the series and directed and co-produced for Disney. The show has already won two prestigious educational video awards, and copies of the longer classroom version have been distributed by the EPA to every elementary school in America!
