SAM & FRIENDS

There is a screening of a Jim Henson retrospective tonight in Chicago, that I unfortunately will have to miss. I hope they put it out on DVD/BLU-RAY one day. Josh and I enjoyed a beautiful 70 degree, sunny day today!

This is always fun to watch!

Two more mixes done on "Luz Marie" coming soon to www.myspace.com/rgoldschmidt

BURL IVES

Speaking of RUDOLPH, my friend Tom made a special trip to visit Burl's grave. Burl was from Illinois. Burl wrote the forward to my book THE ENCHANTED WORLD OF RANKIN/BASS: A PORTFOLIO and I changed the pictures on his page for the newest edition of the book. I have become very good friends with his widow Dorothy over the years and really enjoy everything he did in his career (As does my friend Tom). Burl even starred with James Dean in EAST OF EDEN. He appeared in several things for RANKIN/BASS including THE DAYDREAMER, THE BERMUDA DEPTHS and THE FIRST EASTER RABBIT.

RUDOLPH airs on December 2nd this year...


I believe it is the 45th airing BUT will have to check..>Arthur always knows the correct # It is too bad CBS and ENTERTAINMENT RIGHTS have not remastered with the new technology nor have they done a MAKING OF documentary.
