The Valley Advocate on Henning Goes To The Movies

Gary Carra wrote a nice piece in The Valley Advocate about the upcoming CD Release Show.  Here's a blurb:
"Though the lion's share of his cinema-inspired CD was spawned by comedic titles including Joe Versus The Volcano, Superbad and Meatballs, the songs they ultimately yielded prove poignant exercises in melody, melancholy and mood-capturing.

Take, for example, Ohlenbusch's nod to the zany travel classic Planes, Trains and Automobiles. "There's a scene in that film where Steve Martin's character suddenly realizes that Del Griffith [played by John Candy] has been keeping his true, sad story hidden from him," he recalls. "When Martin looks for Del, he finds him alone in a cold train station, sitting with his trunk, on Thanksgiving. My song is about that very moment, sung from Martin's perspective."
