RADIO show


Back in June, I visited with my friend DAN HOLLIS on the radio airwaves and he has the program archived on this page along with many other entertaining interviews!

THE LITTLE DRUMMER BOY

Who could forget the song "One Star In The Night" written by JULES BASS and MAURY LAWS and sung by THE VIENNA BOYS CHOIR? Did you know THE LITTLE DRUMMER BOY, BOOK 2 was the only RANKIN/BASS ANIMAGIC TV Special to be nominated for an EMMY?
