MARCH, JUNIOR, MARCH!
March indeed. But soon it will be April. Which means April Fool’s Day. Which means that this morning, on my weekly radio show (”South by Southwest”, Monday mornings, 8:30 to 10:30 AM on WMPG in Portland, Maine), I devoted the entire two hours to playing “fool” songs like “Mr. Fool” by George Jones and “You Played Me For a Fool” by Slim Willet. I only play music recorded prior to 1975. Any other fans of vintage country music out there?
But I digress. I just sent a package of character designs and turnarounds out to LA. The charming and lovely Therese Trujillo will in turn forward those to the multitalented Fred Gonzalez and Brian Hogan, who will be storyboarding and directing this short, respectively. Sunil is also on board, which reminds me that I don’t even know Sunil’s name yet. Sunil, maybe you can just go with a singular name, in rock-star fashion: ladies and gentlemen, Sunil.
All for now. RIP, Buck Owens.

You have at least one other vintage country fan working with you on Random Cartoons (I just started today).
I saw Buck Owens at the Buck Owen’s Crystal Palace in Bakersfield about 2 years ago and even without all of his tongue he put on one amazing show. He will be missed
Do you podcast/webcast the show?
I would love to check it out.

We stream audio at wmpg.org. Unfortunately, at the moment my show isn’t being archived, but I’m working on that. If you’re west coast, you’ll have to crawl out of bed pretty early to listen. Anyway, I’ll be doing a 2-hour Buck Owens tribute on Monday, April 10th, beginning at 8:30 AM EST. Any requests?
