How are you? Smiling, I hope.
I'm very fortunate to have a generous, talented group of local friends, in addition to you. Bill Mash, in particular, put this video shtick together, asking nothing in return. It's ridiculously funny, with ear-catching sound effects.
To spare you time - and given the average attention span these days is approximately 2.5 seconds - I suggest you listen to it at 58 seconds through 1:41 (43 seconds total, IF I'm doing the math correctly. That's iffy.). My favorite part, though, is the end bit, from 8:06 minutes to 9:18 minutes. (72 seconds and just as iffy).
This is my book in its entirety, along with a lot of meshugenah.* I'm narrating it, and I laugh every time I hear the Trumpeter King's (a local friend, Jason Allen's) voice in this. Bride Gnat and Bride Knit are played by one phenomenal actress-comic, Annie Fisher. Anyway, I hope you enjoy for 42 seconds or so.

Take care of yourselves.
Til next time.
Oh Robyn - you have awesome friends and this is meshugenah awesome. Do not sell yourself short. I love this reading!!!
ReplyDeleteI still love my friends reading at Helen's shore home - each taking a turn. Wish I'd taped that for you.
But same feeling....love. Girl, love. Big hugs for such a good book
Even though you didn't tape it, Joanne, I can picture it and I treasure your story about the story.
DeleteThank you, dear friend.
Hugs backatcha.
Lots of fun listening to that! (Still love Putinontheritz.) Thanks a lot!
ReplyDeleteOh, and wouldn't "58 seconds through 1:41" be forty-three seconds?
DeleteOh my goodness. Wouldn't the emu be from Australia, not Africa? Ha. I used to be good in math, but that was decades ago. Thanks, Silver. We won't mention my error. =)
DeleteWow, that is quite the production! All the voices and the singing - Bill did a great job. And you sound great reading it.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for giving it your time and feedback, Alex.
DeleteI appreciate you.
I absolutely loved it !!
ReplyDeleteYay! Thanks much, Fishducky!
DeleteIt's awesome to have good friends! He did a great job.
ReplyDeleteIndeed it is. Thank you, Elizabeth.
DeleteThat was done great indeed. Video, voices and tunes, all done top notch.
ReplyDeleteYeah, every sound effect makes me laugh. It's a great ensemble. Thanks, Pat.
DeleteDoes Bill make videos professionally? Because if not, he needs to.
ReplyDeleteI don't think so, Diane. He should, you're right. I'll tell him you (and I) say so.
DeleteSmiles.
I love it, you meshugenah bitch. The sound of your voice all by itself makes me happy.
DeleteLove,
Janie
Thank you, my dear meshugenah friend. (Note: I removed the word bitch there; I'm reserving the title only for me).
DeleteLove ya.
Wow! You have some talented friends to augment your own talents! Wonderful stuff, Robyn!I forced myself to listen to the "press conference" yesterday and managed it for about 15 to 20 minutes before I started to lose it. This was a needed antidote to the Cheeto in charge.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I haven't yet gotten up the strength to take that all in. Glad others are stepping forward about him, and she's well supported by the public - though that doesn't begin to offset all the evil and death threats.
DeleteThank you, Jono.
That was great fun! You have talented friends.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Connie. They're wonderful and very generous with their talents.
DeleteHappy weekend.
Very much enjoyed it Robyn. A lot of work in that. Well done to you and everyone involved. xo
ReplyDeleteFrom you, Anthony, this means a great deal.
DeleteI also appreciate your comment on the Youtube page.
