Cry Me a Stormy Monday

Every musician has his demons. Some more than others. Donnie Wayne Hudson has more than most. Growing up in squalor with a mom that is the town prostitute and no dad, Donnie Wayne finds one friend that exposes him to a passion of BB King music. The nineteen year old white boy spent five earlier years sitting beside a record player self-teaching himself every note and chord of BB King music. On his nineteenth birthday, he strikes out for the Blues Mecca, Beale Street in search of his music idol, leaving his poverty and shame behind. His life worsens as he struggles to survive busking on Beale Street, hustling dimes and quarters for food. When he is at rock bottom, starving and no hope of the next meal, he meets a stranger that makes a piano cry. In their journey, two incredible musicians discover that lies, deceit and a lifetime of pain will bring them together in their search of a normal life.
