So it is official.....

"OW!" Sang the Cow - Classical Mooosical Book for Kids is complete!!!! YES!!!! 

A portion of the proceeds will go to a very special children's charity 
 I hold dear to my heart. See link below for more information. 

 
 Mike Austin, (WJVL fm radio talk show host), Jeffrey Biegel, (pianist and composer),
Bruce Wolf, Dan Proft, and Chet Coppock, (WLS am radio talk show hosts),
Mozart, Beethoven, Chrissy Sue and Brenda Lou, just to name a few...

 
  Chrissy Sue's friend, Brenda Lou...


Bruce Wolf's guest star character, "Chit" seen below. His puffy cheeks are full of chocolate but sad because his toe is caught in a trap...  
  
Chet, Chit, and Chat run fast as they can to help their Maestro Farmer.
 
Brenda Lou heads on a special mission to help all her friends. Can she do it?!? 
Jeffrey Biegel is the gentleman in the picture below.  He also guest stars in the book. Each time I see Jeffrey perform and his fingers shuffle across the piano at ligtening quick speed, I am overwhelmed by disbelief.  His playing is sensational and glorious to the ear. I am honored he has generously agreed to perform and compose in our book and cartoon animation.

"Jeffrey Biegel, who played some fantastic Liszt the other night at the St. Regis during the dinner in my honor, ... is a splendid musician and a brilliant performer. I think you will be proud to present him to the public."— Leonard Bernstein.

Need I say more...

OW Sang the Cow - Classical Comedy Mooosical Book and Cartoon Project

 I had the privilege of joining some dear friends for Maestro- Steven Larsen's 20th Anniversary Celebration with the Rockford Symphony Orchestra. Special guest star, Jeffrey Biegel, performed outstanding as usual and brought tears to many eyes...includling my own. He and the orchestra played so beautifully at the gorgeous Coronado Performing Arts Center.  I am so honored to be able to work with such beautiful people, enjoy their exceptional musical talents, and to be able to call them my friends.
