LARRY KING WOULD UNDERSTAND!

I'm no Larry King, but I have a great audience too!
My BLOG Page feature, "The Interview" was resurrected after I made the decision in December, 2008 that "Friday Movie Suggestion Night" would end its 40-month run. This was necessary to free me up from a significant time commitment to pick up "The Interview" and run with it successfully. At the time, Jason Buckley, my Webmaster and I were working on completing a 3rd overhaul to my full website since 2004 that was quite extensive. This decision was driven by my desire to take my website into a new direction that was more personality-driven. Further, I was freed up to focus on "The Annual Steve McQueen Film Festival" which occurs every March. The level of quality demanded of these two remaining concepts demanded nothing less. In the months ahead we are rebuilding both my REEL and CONTACT Pages. Meanwhile...

We are committed now to "A Concert for Trevor". Who is "we"? Well, I am collecting names and phone contacts throughout the country of people who care about 4 year-old Trevor Tredaway that are "stepping up to the plate" to assist me. They have read the Midland Reporter Telegram newspaper article of July 27, 2009 (see this previous blog post) on Trevor and they are responding. As I have said here so often, "Nobody who is successful ever goes it alone". In that spirit, this is truly a team effort. National radio and television personalities have been contacted about Trevor's story, and we are all cautiously optimistic at the potential for all good things to happen when like-minded people who are loving and concerned come together as a community! Naturally, I will keep you updated on this special little boy who needs our help.

My regular features will be here on the BLOG Page too. I just wanted to take a moment and update you and more importantly, to say "Thank You" to every lurker and commenter who visits here. Your generosity is never lost on me. More than 4,300 of you joined me last week during my visit with Special Guest, Ken Mansfield. Ken was the former head of Apple Records, Manager and Producer of The Beatles and it was a genuine Joy for this author to sit down with him and hear his amazing journey. Please be patient with me as I get around to visit all of you who have kindly visited me. Have a great week!

by all means, continue the interviews. it is what you do well.
what i like is how personal your interviews are. or put another way, you interview the *person* rather than the product.
best wishes to you and your effort to successfully organize 'a concert for trevor.'

Captain Picard: Thanks so much. Perhaps you could convince Sir Richard Branson to drop by as my Guest! :)

Diane: I think Melinda was right when she said my progress will come along in drips and drabs. That's fine. I'd rather take the time to get it right than rush something together. There are some very hopeful opportunities and I am exploring each one! Thanks for your love and concern. I think about Trevor daily.

Love & Hugs back atcha! :)
