INDIE MEMPHIS PREVIEW

On the eve of SONG SUNG BLUE's Indie Memphis screening, John Beifuss of Red Orbit writes:
Of the dozen or so festival movies I've watched in advance, my favorite could be Greg Kohs' sad/ inspiring documentary "Song Sung Blue" (7:30 p.m. Saturday), about a Milwaukee husband-and-wife Neil Diamond tribute act called Lightning & Thunder. One expects easy laughs from such a topic, and those laughs come, but real-life events that could never have been anticipated by the subjects or the filmmakers make this an extremely moving and almost classic American tragedy - or is it a story of triumph? That's another question audiences will have to answer for themselves.
