Daphne's Headcovers announced last week that LPGA Pro, Jennifer
Rosales, will take my Monkey Made of Sockies headcover on tour!
So, look for MMOS whenever you watch the tour live or on
television. The headcover will be released around May 1,
2008. I'll let you know as soon as it is available to the
public. For more information about Daphne's, visit

Shannon's Music Video, "I Was Made to Cover You", Debuts at the
Sock Monkey Festival
If you heard my song on the radio, you'd think I was a woman
coaxing someone out of their shell. Once you see the video,
however, you'll realize it's much more than that. The song
is about my Monkey Made of Sockies headcover (by Daphne's
Headcovers) and how it's made to protect the golf club.
It's also about getting people off the couch on on to the golf
course.
If you
can't make it to the Sock Monkey Film Festival in Rockford, IL,
I'll send you a link to a sneak preview when it's done.
Look for it soon on the
ShannonGrissomChannel.com,
YouTube.com
and a host of other sites.
I
wrote the lyrics and music, and performed the song. But
the music was only a small part of the entire production.
The video was truly an ensemble effort. My husband,
Dwight, was very supportive and incredibly patient with my early
hour songwriting. The man patiently listened to countless
versions!
The
storyboard idea came entirely from my talented cousin, Dennis
Brooks. From the moment Dennis heard the song, he had a
vision for the pictorial aspect of the story. The video portion was brilliantly
directed, shot, edited and mixed by maestro Teresa Widdowson,
CEO of
Digital Moon Studios.
Ruth Jones was the creative production assistant and also had a
cameo. Friend, Mike Howard, also had a cameo. The
golfer was played by Bob Greene. Bob was a good sport and
really took a lot of ribbing from all of us. Special
thanks to Scott Fuller from San Juan Oaks Golf Club for letting
us film on site.
