I've got two VERY wonderful Christmas surprises for everyone from Lucyla and Mariola!

Lucyla has outdone herself with this year's "Navidades" video!  Using the Turtles, "So Happy Together", she has made a spectacular vid highlighting 2007's Russell-events, this is a must-see!!  Click here to go directly to her Illustrated Songs page!

Mariola has also made us a Christmas vid featuring Richie!  Back dropped with Eric Clapton and BB King's "Hold on, I'm Coming" song, this is definitely a Richie-fest not to be missed!  Click here to go directly to her Illustrated Songs page!

I also have a Rough Magic update for you!  I've started a new series at Rough Magic, featuring Terry Thorne. The first three chapters of "Full Length of the River" are up now. I hope you enjoy it!

Also as a reminder, we have fifteen categories up in the Golden Bunny Awards Forum now at the Constant Crowe Message Board, so don't forget to come and vote!  Voting will continue through to the end of January and we welcome any new categories!

I've started a forum over at the Constant Crowe Message Board for the 2007 "Golden Bunny Awards"! We'll be comparing Ben moments with Richie moments and awarding "Golden Bunnies" to whoever wins the most votes! Pix a must!

I've got a TERRIFIC treat for you thanks to JEAN, our hero!  Jean has rendered a blast-from-the-past show called "Music Maximus" (circa late 2001, early 2002 by our reckoning, anyone with an exact date, please let me know!)   The show is labeled, "A Conversation With Russell Crowe" and is just Russell talking about music, without interruption!  Jean's sent the first five sections to me, the rest are on their way, stay tuned!

MusicMaximus-4.mpg (76MB)  MusicMaximus-5.mpg (74MB)

I've spent the day washing Jean's files through two separate processes to get them down to a more manageable file size for our dial-up folks!  Good news: I was successful!  Better news:  There's the inevitable loss of bit-rate, however the window size remained the same!

Remember, this is just the first half of the show!  More files coming soon!
