It's A Jolly Holiday with Trudy....

....our first meeting as a MARRIED COUPLE with Trudy Durant , the tax prep lady who has done my taxes for years and years...she is tax preparer to Broadway folk, and I first went to her when i started doing Les Mis, just like everyone else in the company..her 450 Seventh Avenue office walls are tastefully filled with signed posters from every show imaginable...and to sit in her waiting room is to see everyone you have known for the past two decades....Broadway would have to go dark if a bomb happened to destroy her office on any given workday...our meeting went well...and she will let us know how she will approach our first joint return soon..she said the first year is always the sticky one, and after that filing will be less complex...whew! glad that is done for now...hope the news is not too bad...

Yesterday, I had a great radio voice BOOKING , and it was so much fun....it came as a result of that audition I had so much fun at the other day...for Amex... a special promotion for the Tribaca Film Festival...down at 38 Greene Street Studios...the agency is Ogilvie-Mather, and the creative team was delightful...the other actor in the spot was a young guy named Charlie McWade, and we got the job done easily and quickly (my favorite sessions are quick ones...i don't enjoy those small recording booths for too long...After that I trained Uptown with time to spare, and dropped in at Macy's for a cup of coffee and a look at their Annual Macy's Flower Show...i found a little table at the Balcony Barny's Coffee Spot overlooking the handbags and enjoyed myself watching the crowds go by until I had to meet Peter across the street at Trudy's.

Peter had his first session with Ron Desina last night and came home enthusiastic about what he can learn there...the exposure to the whole t.v audition process will be so good for him, and the specific demands of this one particular casting director can only be instructive...another casting director , Jay Binder, has asked to see Peter for a meeting...our agent has been talking about Peter as an important talent, and this will manifest in more such meetings no doubt..and our work as actors returned home to NYC continues....Melvin our visitor from Abingdon has been having a great week, and he leaves Sunday night...Chris and Anne Johnson come to see us on April 7th for a day or two...and i see green buds peeking up through the ground as i walk around the City! Spring will come!
