HAPPY BIRTHDAY to MAURY LAWS!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my dear friend MAURY LAWS! 88 years young! I REALLY enjoyed writing the MAURY LAWS chapter in my NEW book and celebrating his unique work in MAD MONSTER PARTY. He has been so helpful to me over the years and it is nice to meet up occasionally for the holidays in Chicago. We did a nice audio interview some years back for THE DAYDREAMER soundtrack CD too!

He wrote this to me yesterday:


I'm doing some appearances here and there. I'm doing a 'signing' at a music store in Madison this Saturday and again here in Appleton next Week. Also a lecture about my work on Rudolph at an art museum here on the 15th. It keeps going on and on.


I am tired just thinking about it :) You can read more on this musical legend at www.maurylaws.com


IT'S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS!
