Song sung blue movie review
On January 3rd, I saw the movie Song Sung Blue at the AMC in Mountainside with some friends of mine. It was about Lightning and Thunder who were a famous Neil Diamond tribute band. They were composed of married couple Mike and Claire Sardina. The movie starts out with Mike Sardina as a Don Ho impersonator at the Wisconsin State fair. He wants to perform as himself and refuses to go onstage as Don Ho. He quits. He meets Claire Stingl who is a Patsy Cline impersonator. After she sings "Walking after midnight" Claire and Mike discuss future plans as a Neil Diamond tribute act. They soon fall in love. Claire tells Mike that she is divorced with two children.

Mark is now the guitarist for the Neil Diamond tribute band, Lightning and Thunder. Lightning and Thunder have success...
