RUDOLPH broadcast 2006 and other things!
I had SANTA CLAUS & RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER over to my home for THANKSGIVING this year thanks to my friend KEVIN KREISS & www.timeandspacetoys.com! I also had my sister Lindsey, my sister Stacey (who just screened her film on WEIRD PAUL in LEADS, ENGLAND), my mom Carol and my neighbor George Tackes over too. Over the weekend, I did interviews for AMERICAN ROAD MAGAZINE www.americanroadmagazine.com to be posted soon and for the CANADIAN newspaper NATIONAL POST with Bob McKenzie. Bob interviewed Arthur Rankin, Jr. last week too! It is confirmed RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER will air on CBS Dec. 8 7pm Central, FROSTY THE SNOWMAN will air on CBS Dec. 8th too at 8pm, SANTA CLAUS IS COMIN' TO TOWN will air on ABC Dec. 5th at 7pm Central, THE YEAR WITHOUT A SANTA CLAUS will air on ABC FAMILY Dec. 4th at 7pm Central (RUDOLPH'S SHINY NEW YEAR will be on that night too), THE LITTLE DRUMMER BOY will be on ABC FAMILY Christmas Eve at 11am.

Cool...COOL McCOOL DVD set!
I have been asked to Co-produce a new COOL McCOOL dvd set that is in the works. My friend Wally Wingert is Producing it. I will certainly help out. The late Bob McFadden became a friend of mine, because of all the great work he did for RANKIN/BASS and he even recorded voice mail messages for me as COOL, JINGLE BELLS (From YEAR WITHOUT A SANTA CLAUS), MILTON THE MONSTER, BORIS KARLOFF (from MAD, MAD, MAD MONSTERS) and FRANKENBERRY. His COOL voice was based on JACK BENNY. Wally is also a voice actor for Animation and I know he appreciates what BOB has done over the years.
An Evening with RANKIN/BASS musical composer MAURY LAWS!
KEVIN KREISS www.timeandspacetoys.com and I met up with MAURY LAWS, his beautiful wife Karen and his son John on the Magnificent mile at the DRAKE HOTEL Friday night! We had a wonderful time and talked further about the RANKIN/BASS Symphony project. MAURY will have a RANKIN/BASS concert this Thursday in APPLETON, WISCONSIN. This will be a prototype to the larger symphony that will tour the states Christmas 2007! My CONGRATS goes out to MAURY! Check his website at www.maurylaws.com Also, he did some suites for the current BASEBALL MUSIC PROJECT that is playing accross the country right now. His HEAT MISER/SNOW MISER themes will be used in the new live action NBC special THE YEAR WITHOUT A SANTA CLAUS Dec. 11.
