Season's Greetings


 I am getting calls from old friends about my article on The Little Drummer boy in RetroFan Magazine!   I appreciate your kind words.  I have also received calls from friends I haven't heard from in the while saying "What the F!?" about the new dvds and blu rays.   Apparently the extra content had very little value whatsoever.   I am told there are many talking heads, that had no connection to Rankin/Bass what-so-ever, offering nothing about the history of Arthur Rankin, Jr. and Jules Bass.  That is very sad to me.  I worked with both over thirty years and have a deep archives that would have been a far greater value than the sub-standard stuff that is out there.  Maury Laws always said to me, "Onward and Upward!"  Sales have been tremendous this holiday season, even in this deep recession.   People want to escape to when times were good!  I am so glad to be a part of the Rankin/Bass History!  I am glad I can make people's lives a little brighter.

Recession


Have you noticed that the recession that started around 2008-2009, is still around?   The government and media (owned by the government) says that things are on the upswing and getting better.  My close family and friends, think these are only words.  There are more people out of work now, than ever before.  I have a mall near my home and there are just as many people there, window shopping, during the week as there are on the weekend now.  Oh well, just an observation I have made from what I have seen the last several years first hand.  Not sure how this will turn around in the future.  I don't like to talk about downers like this BUT it is a reality, so I thought I would mention it for a response.
