Milestone

Wow - my blog hit a milestone this week and it passed me by! 10,000 hits! Not bad for a blog that isn't famous! Now its up to 10,225. Don't know how I missed the day it hit the magic number; especially since I was waiting for it from time to time (when I would look at the counter)
So - thanks for looking in!

A CHRISTMAS CAROL IS COMING

Pluggin' Away

Finished episode 6 of TICONDEROGA last night - that's 6 scripts in about 4 weeks. I really like the way this one is turning out! I think it's going to be one of our most exciting shows(and we're gonna have real bagpipes, too!!). Starting Episode #7 this afternoon, then off to Westford for some music recording.

OUR FIRST OFFICIAL CHRISTMAS SPECIAL

We're cramming to get it finished for this Friday (for downloads on Lulu and Spoken Network)
I hope you get a chance to listen to our first Christmas Special! Full of music (Jeff's arrangements are incredible), some laughs, and some warm thoughts - this is the perfect show to listen to by the glow of a Christmas Tree, or calming your nerves in holiday traffic!
It will also air on our XM / Sirius show in December, but I don't know when yet.

TWO NEW EPISODES

Two new episodes of JERRY AND THE PIRATES are now available on Lulu.com and Spoken Network; The History Lesson, and The Stuck Up Bridge!

Memories

Found this picture from when I played Henry Higgins in PYGMALION. This dates from 1983. Those were the good old days. I know they were good because I can't remember them.

BARRYMORE - FINAL DAY

This is the last day to download our production of BARRYMORE, By William Luce. At midnight, it goes away until April 1st. I wish it didn't take so long to get something released. We had to sit on THE HALLOWEEN TREE for eight months, and now it's 5 months until BARRYMORE comes out. Frustrating. Oh, if I owned the world - booowaaaa ha ha!

I am reading Christopher Plummers brand new autobiography, "In Spite of Myself," and it's incredible. Aside from being one of our greatest actors, he is also a master storyteller, and his command of the language is staggering. I am loving every page (and it may replace Errol Flynn's "My Wicked, Wicked Ways" as my favorite Hollywood autobiography). There is a great chapter on the original Broadway BARRYMORE, in which Mr. Plummer starred. All I can say is - Bill - I gotta go to the Old Sea Hag!!!

AND IF THAT WASN'T EXCITING ENOUGH - we have replaced ALL our old microphones, which gave me 18 years of great service. We are now recording on 4 Studio Professional B1 Condenser Microphones. Love it!!
