Proceeds from Danny the Dragon CD Support Good Cause
If you’ve been keeping up with me as the children’s author of the Danny the Dragon series, you’ve probably heard me talk about the new Danny the Dragon CD, which is soon to be released, containing a reading of Danny Meets Jimmy by a talented vocal artist followed by a compilation of ten original classic songs by up-and-coming composers.

Sesame Street – Taking Care of Nature
Sesame Street is celebrating it’s 40th anniversary by encouraging an environmentally-friendly theme for it’s upcoming TV shows. With such live stage shows as “Elmo’s Green Thumb”, a major promotional campaign and TV show themes to instill in children a love and appreciation of nature, it definitely looks like the show is going in the right direction. It was such a pleasure to have participated alongside the Sesame Street Halloween concert in Pasadena.

Please sign up for my Newsletter (click on link and scroll down the right side of the page) to stay on top of this. The “project” …
Today is the 40th Anniversary of Sesame Street!

There aren’t very many children’s brands/themes that are able to withstand the progression of the generations, but looks like Sesame Street has indeed passed the test. It was fitting that the highly praised Sesame Street Halloween Concert, which Danny the Dragon and I had the pleasure of participating in, (see blog entry from 10/27/09) nearly coincided with this special anniversary. We even had a visit from the Count! Enjoy your day and don’t forget to take a moment to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Sesame …
