Dana Hard (1950 – 1980) Inspirado en una historia real Dedicado a los cantantes y músicos que no llegaron a ser conocidos. Mis padres me contaron esta historia, fueron testigos presenciales de buena parte de ella. Tomaron gran cantidad de fotografías, grabaron al menos cincuenta horas en audio con entrevistas a los integrantes de la banda narrando sus vidas y filmaron otra buena cantidad en VHS, mayormente con sus viajes, ratos de ocio, ensayos y sus conciertos.
