Greetings:

Of course the biggest news is the North American release of Life Short
Call Now July 11th. Keep watching The Cockburn Project for updates as
we receive them.

As previously reported, Bruce Cockburn's hit song "Wondering Where The
Lions Are" has been recorded
by Jimmy Buffett and is the opening theme to the upcoming film "Hoot",
according to a recent e-mail from True North.

They went on to say that "Hoot" is based on the Newbery Award honoured
book which has been a New York
Times bestseller.

The movie is set for a May 4 North American release. The film is
directed by Wil Shriner and is produced by Frank Marshall and Jimmy
Buffett. Visit here to read more about it: www.hootmovie.com/

There will be a soundtrack album released to coincide with the release
of the film.

As announced at http://www.cockburnproject.net earlier this week, True
North has begun to release tourdates for the coming season:
