But a judge offered to reduce that to $35 if Vactor spent 20 hours listening to classical music by the likes of Bach, Beethoven and Chopin.

Crazy Hank Garland Film Hitting Theaters |
Crazy chronicles Hank Garland's rise to fame in Music City, from playing on hits for icons including Elvis Presley, Patsy Cline, the Everly Brothers and Roy Orbison through his brief but influential solo career as a visionary jazz artist. It also explores his tempestuous marriage and repeated clashes with the Nashville's country music establishment over artist's rights, civil rights and other issues. The car crash and electroshock treatments that eventually ended Garland's performing career and derailed his life are starkly portrayed, and the enormity of what was lost is deeply felt.
Director Rick Bieber was introduced to the project and to the late Hank Garland by Ray Scherr, Executive Producer for Crazy along with guitar hero Steve Vai � who also performs a cameo as Hank Williams � under the Favored Nations Films mantle. Scherr had known the Garland family for over a decade, and Hank Garland consulted on the screenplay and was involved with the project, but passed away before it was completed. Crazy's wonderfully realized period music was produced by multiple-Grammy�-winning producer Larry Klein, who was most recently honored for the 2007 Album of the Year, Herbie Hancock's River � The Joni Letters.
