Ron directly confronts his thirty-five years on the road, his failed relationships, battles with his Alter Ego (ominously called,'The Man'), his near death from drug overdose and finally, his stirring and triumphant recovery through song. Ron also explores the sources of his music and, living the legend, he performs many of his most beloved songs in performances recorded live especially for this film. Exploring the irony ofbeing an immensely talented but little known 'Legend', this documentary presents a journey through the mind and music of one of Canada's most influential songwriters, Ron Hynes, a.k.a. 'The Man of a Thousand Songs'. <90mn 53s>Language:EnglishNotes:Detailed holdings information: -
