more vintage CHIPMUNKS!
45 sleeves from my pal Gary Matheson's collection. This is back from the time when THE CHIPMUNKS were something good and under the control of ROSS BAGDASARIAN. You would never see these little guys wearing gansta clothes and singing hip hop."HAPPY (the baby new year)" 2009!

HAPPY 2009 from HAPPY, The Baby New Year! You may have noticed that we dropped off EBAY with our ANIMAGIC1 account in 2008. EBAY became FEE-BAY and has treated sellers shamefully. MISER BROS PRESS still sells a few RANKIN/BASS items under seller MISER BROS on EBAY. 
FROSTY THE SNOWMAN
RANKIN/BASS Produced two FROSTY specials....FROSTY THE SNOWMAN (1969) with Jimmy Durante and FROSTY'S WINTER WONDERLAND with Andy Griffith and both are out on DVD. There have been some failed attempts at reviving FROSTY in other pale specials BUT they are unwatchable.THE FIRST EASTER RABBIT
I always loved how RANKIN/BASS' HERE COMES PETER COTTONTAIL covered all of the holidays with it's wonderful story written by ROMEO MULLER. I finally got in THE FIRST EASTER RABBIT with BURL IVES as the voice of G.B. BUNNY. Burl has the SAM THE SNOWMAN appearance BUT as a rabbit. It is a cel animated special and rarely seen. The theme song "There's that rabbit" by Maury Laws and Jules Bass, is one of their BEST!

THE NEW ADVENTURES OF PINOCCHIO and THE TALES OF THE WIZARD OF OZ DVDs by RANKIN/BASS
I was watching and enjoying the collector's DVDs for RANKIN/BASS' THE NEW ADVETURES OF PINOCCHIO and THE TALES OF THE WIZARD OF OZ. They were wildly popular in CANADA due to the use of Canadian talent in both series!
HANNA-BARBERA Holiday reading

Writing new songs for my fourth CD "DRAMA FREE," which I hope to record demos in January and February and bring to Tempe, AZ in the Spring!
