Marie's Crisis

A relationship between Man, Father, God, and Piano Bar.

The story of Jim who has been playing piano at the famously infamous Marie's Crisis for the past 19 years. Trained at an early age by his extremely religious father to embrace music "Soli Deo Glorio" (only for the grace of God), Jim has grown up to form his own, more tolerant, type of church at the local piano bar.

His father could never approve of a musical career that wasn't religious. Yet Jim states, "what I do does good...it helps people get through things" and although a Christian's main mission may be to proselytize, "you can't really do that without having a drink with the town whore."

Review of Marie's Crisis

Jim has 16,000 songs memorized. He's played at Marie's Crisis where no microphone makes everyone a star. The piece is nicely woven together with vinyl recordings, live performance clips, and Jim talking about what playing music means to him. 9:41 minutes worth your time.

Review of Marie's Crisis

Kevin did the bar and the Jim justice....... The bar is what it is(small drinks, dive bar, bums on the street), BUT JIM makes it all make sence. Marie's is a place to go and forget and remeber, we all make the world, Jim puts it in perspective and let's us all leave with a smile, remembering why we came and leaving our problems behind. I don't remember who said it but "It's okay to look at the past, just don't stare!!!!!!!" Jim does that. What ever your worry, care, complaint, Jim makes you forget that at Maries.....24601111111111111111111!!!!!!!
