    First and foremost, did anybody notice that this website is actually up, and active and <gulp... could it possibly be???> current?     The person who gets 99.99% of the credit is Ann Sanders, aka Tuttles the Clown.  Thank  you so very much Ann.
 
    As you might expect, I am into many new exciting projects.  My Muse is certainly prolific (and probably swigging Red Bull as we speak.)    Right not I am working on... 
 
...a new balloon instruction DVD tentatively titled "E Unum Pluribus."  The designs all stem from one basic easy body structure.  I know I swore that I was out of the DVD producing business but preliminary reactions from others  have been far better than I anticipated and I just have to do this. 
...a new balloon instruction DVD tentatively titled "10 Balloons Every Twister Should Know, And WHY!"
... a long anticipated followup book to The Clown Star tentatively titled SMILE: The 5 Key Elements of Comic Character Development. 
... a couple of childrens books that stand alone but have a potential followup elements for beginner children's magicians and ballooners.
...a one man one act show based upon the life of P.T. Barnum, and a musical revue aimed at older audiences
... recording more Balderdash & Humbug songs, some more Christmas ones and some others.  They are written, they are funny and, most important of all,  Humbug is finally able to turn his  very essential attention and incredible skills to the task.  Shout out for Humbug.... Wooo Woooooo!!!
... producing a musical instrument worthy of the Mr. Rainbow called the "HMK."  I will sell it in conjunction with my lecuture on Musical Clowning.  Vague? Yes!
 
  And in the meantime Mr. Rainbow just keeps surfing the top of the laughter wave.   Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeheheheheheheheheheheheheeeeee!!!!!!!!!   
 
    Want to see me live?  Cool!  Check out the calendar below....
