Old Blue Eyes

One of the life benefits of having a radio career was the opportunity to meet and interview some of the legends of entertainment. One of those for me was the late Frank Sinatra. I was doing a show called Sinatra & Company on Metromedia's WMMR in Phildelphia when he came into town for a political benefit. We sat down and talked about his music - the arrangements and session stories. He spoke about his movie roles and a bit about his ups and downs. He was a simple yet complex man who revered l… Continue

'Orson and Me" at the parkway.

On a rainy cold saturday afternoon went up to the parkway to catch a matinee showing of "Orson and Me." Being a fan of Mr. Wells I was glad I did. The story revolves round the 1937 Mercury theatre production of "Julius Caeser" I was really impressed with Christian Mckay as Orson-don't be put off by Zack Efron or Claire Dane being in the film it's an ensemble film and Claire is actually pretty good! so trust me if you have some free time this week, get up to the parkway and see this film-but this… Continue

The reason is that Florida provides practically no monetary incentives. That can be changed with FL House Bill#697 which has been recently submitted by Sen. Precourt. It provides the competitive tax credits that FL… Continue
