Maury Laws
This was a sweet article on my dear friend Maury Laws. That is a first
edition of my Rudolph book on his...
keyboards. I heard from Maury a few
weeks ago and he is doing well. #maurylaws #rudolphtherednosedreindeer #book #expert #rickgoldschmidt #saturday #weekend #fun #cbs #rankinbass

Elvis Presley: The Searcher
Just watched the Searcher and liked it very much. I like the way the story was woven. It did not portray a good picture of Col. Parker, but it was an honest one. I know people like the Colonel squeezing every penny out of an artist or something they did not create or have any part of that creativity. A huckster and nothing else.

Romeo Muller, Jr., Creator of the Island of Misfit Toys and most of the Rankin/Bass characters and writer of most of their Enchanted stories!
I am going through Romeo's original scrapbook for various projects right now and will post some cool things! His brother Gene gave me the scrapbook and many of Romeo's original demo recordings for the various productions. Romeo saved every article about him and all of the reviews for the Rankin/Bass Productions and many of the ones he did for other companies later in his career.
His name has mysteriously disappeared from Productions based directly on his writings, and as a member of the writer's guild, his estate is working hard to rectify that situation. I have written much about him in my books and featured his early draft script for Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer in my Making of Rudolph book.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer expert takes the Animagic dynamic duo around for the public to view!
This was a fun project to work on! I was so glad I got to show Arthur Rankin, Jr. the stamps before he passed away, they were actually issued about 10 months after he passed. My dear friend Tom Ward wrote the article #monday #rankinbass #rudolphtherednosedreindeer #expert #universalstudios
