| A Burl Ives Christmas Card! |
| |
| Here is a GREAT old BURL IVES Christmas card sent out by the man himself in the Early 1960's! BURL had a GREAT love of the arts and used many GREAT Illustrations like this over the years. Many of his DECCA RECORD LP covers were wonderful pieces of art as well. Perhaps, this is what led him to an ANIMATED property at RANKIN/BASS. In the later years of his life he decorated his WA Home's lawn with RUDOLPH cutouts made by a local artist. Visit BURLIVES.COM and tell DOROTHY we said hello! |
| Paul Winchell - We Love Him! |
Meet Paul Winchell - Ventriloquist, Voice Actor, Inventor. Many know him as the voice of Papa Smurph. Others know him as
the voice of Dick Dastardly (my personal favorite). And yet others know him as the genius
behind Jerry Mahoney and Knucklehead Smiff (pictured left). However you know him, now you can learn all about
the man behind the characters! Check out Paul's new website,www.paulwinchell.com, which is a treat in itself!
Or order Paul's autobiography, "Winch" available now through his site! (Autographed copies also available!) Click on the book pic to order yours! -Mark
Also, Paul is starting a new, online steaming video channel called PWKN.com (Paul Winchell Kids Network.) If you have broadband, check it out. It's up and running with some killer-klips from Paul's various shows! |
