There will also be a LIVE SANTA CLAUS to take pictures with and a LIMITED EDITION postcard given out with purchase of the restored puppets! I will also be showing some VERY Rare RANKIN/BASS clips and discussing my work with RANKIN/BASS and some exciting things on the horizon including a RANKIN/BASS Symphony that I will serve as ART DIRECTOR and MAURY LAWS is orchestrating! The Symphony will tour the country in 2007 and appear at all the major venues including the BOSTON POPS!

RICK GOLDSCHMIDT SINGS is released on CD! My new CD is available at www.amazon.com and www.cdbaby.com and it is called RICK GOLDSCHMIDT SINGS.

Special guest musicians on the project include ROBIN WILSON & SCOTTY JOHNSON of GIN BLOSSOMS, former GIN BLOSSOMS Drummer PHILLIP RHODES, members of THE NEVERLY BROTHERS and THE BLACK MOODS and my band THE STARVING ARTISTS! So far, I have received many positive comments. I am just happy to have it out. The cover art was done by illustrator DAVID SHELDON (LOG COMMERCIALS on REN & STIMPY, OLD NAVY Commercials, OH YEAH!
