Comments
Thanks for the kind words. Love the positive attitude! How correct, it should be about "WE", not "Me", or "I". Wishing you continued success. Please send Mike my best and feel free to give him my contact information.

Thanks for your nice note!!!! I was fortunate that my Dad moved the family to LA when I was 14. I never thought twice about calling Mel Blanc or crashing one of his recording sessions. Not sure if it was having "balls" or a kid's innocence.
I never take for granted the work I'm blessed to do. You're never too old to pursue a dream!!!!!!!! Enjoy the journey!!
