NEW MASTER!

Got a NEW master of RICK GOLDSCHMIDT SINGS...AGAIN from SONOROUS over the weekend and it sounds even better. I did post a few songs pre-REMASTER at www.myspace.com/rickgoldschmidt. I may have come down with Strep throat over the weekend too. My hair stylist BEN is a new cast member of a show that will start airing on BRAVO April 11th called SHEER GENIUS which will be hosted by JACLYN SMITH. Check it out at www.bravotv.com

THE LAST UNICORN: A SALUTE TO ARTHUR RANKIN, JR. & JULES BASS USA FILM FESTIVAL

Ann Alexander and Allie Polatin tell me the 23rd annual KidFilm festival was a success. I tried to assist with getting ARTHUR RANKIN, JR. and JULES BASS to appear at this festival in Dallas, Texas BUT that is easier said than done. Glad to see that the kids had fun! www.usafilmfestival.com

SONOROUS MASTERING Tempe, AZ

My buddy DAVID SHIRK once again MASTERED my CD for me! He has won GOLD RECORDS for mastering DANE COOK'S comedy CDs and has worked with many GREAT artists! I am very happy with the results of RICK GOLDSCHMIDT SINGS...AGAIN! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND SONOROUS MASTERING for any band or performer that wants a quality MASTERING at an affordable price!

DAYDREAMER SOUNDTRACK cd arrives!

THE DAYDREAMER soundtrack CD is finally out and it is a GREAT one! The music sounds amazing (Digitally re-mastered), there are BONUS tracks, a 36 minute interview I did with MAURY LAWS and I was lucky enough to write new liner notes. Listening to the interview again was interesting. We talked about RUDOLPH, RETURN TO OZ, THE BERMUDA DEPTHS, JERRY LEWIS, MAD MONSTER PARTY, etc. MAURY talks about the process that he and JULES BASS went through to create the wonderful RANKIN/BASS soundtracks and gives insight to the creation of "One Star In The Night" from THE LITTLE DRUMMER BOY. If you love the music from the classic RANKIN/BASS specials, you will love this!

There is a possibility that I may be playing a LIVE show at SCOTT JOHNSON's (GIN BLOSSOMS) open mike night at the YUCCAH TAP ROOM in Scottsdale, AZ this coming Monday night...possibly with SCOTTY, ROBIN WILSON (GIN BLOSSOMS), Ryan Prior and Chico Diaz. We are going to rehearse earlier that night for our recording sessions this week. Hope to see you out there! I'm told Arizona is a good place when you have ASTHMA.

Just talked with PAUL COKER, JR.

He is working up a color rough for the cover design of THE ENCHANTED WORLD OF RANKIN/BASS: A PORTFOLIO that I will post here in about a week! He says hello to all of the RANKIN/BASS fans out there and we shared a few jokes!
