HELP!

I'm in need of a favor.

My nephew, Shaun Davies, called me.

Shaun was (along with his brother Preston) the original inspiration for the Pod'l'pool Cuties.
He asked me if I could help him with his Senior Project in High school.

Shaun needs to briefly interview professionals working in animation.
You can be working TV, feature films, shorts or gaming as an animator or a designer.

If you are willing to give him a brief 5 or 10 minutes of you time over the next few days via phone or email--drop me a line at "larrymarder [at] gmail [dot] com" and I will arrange the introductions.

If this is something you can do or can recommend someone who can....it will be greatly appreciated on my end!

Thanks!

Larry

Bo Diddley RIP

Bo Diddley is gone. I've never said much about what the Boom'r Band might sound like. I've always saifd that the Boom'rs sound the way you want them to sound. That's what I told Robert, Indigo, and Erica when they asked about it for the Beanworld mini-animation. That's what the Boom'rs sounded like to them and so, that it was the proper accompaniment for their piece.

But one thing I've always been sure about is this: the rhythm in TOTB #6 (Yeah, yeah! The Clang Twang!) was a real hard driving Bo Diddley beat. His rectangular Gretsch guitar was, after all, often called the "Twang Machine." The first time I saw him rocking on that thing on Shindig! --I thought it was the coolest thing I'd ever seen. The man could rock and he had a sense of style that was unmatched. Even his album covers always were always a notch better than any of his contemporaries.

The Boom'r Band sure will miss him.
