PETER PAN RECORDS via THE BAIRD'S

THE BAIRD'S OF BARROW STREET

Just watched

ART CARNEY MEETS PETER AND THE WOLF

again. . .

And really had a case of missing

The BAIRD'S OF BARROW STREET

So here are a whole buncha rare items I want to share with you.
"THE BUNNY HUGGERS"
Two dancers performed in tandem by the great
Frank SULLY Sullivan.

Yeah! That's Bil and his Horse!
Bil Baird & Gabriel Marin (our son.)
In India (when it was exotic and over there).
CHARLEMAGNE the LION
Probably as close as Bil got to an altered ego
(except for maybe Snarky Parker. . .)
"THE STRANGE CASE OF THE COSMIC RAYS"

Directed By
FRANK CAPRA

BILL TOST, OLGA FELGEMACHER & PETER BAIRD

SEEK REVENGE ON THE STAGE MANAGER (CARL HARMS)
WITH THE HELP OF THE WOLF.

What a GREAT cartoonist he was!

Everyone starts out somewhere. . .

Thank you,
Baird's Of Barrow Street!

BAIRD SHOT IN COLOR

I'm heading out to an editing session for the next couple of days, and wanted to leave y'all with this great BIL & CORA BAIRD shot (probably from Life magazine.) Love this one. Got it from my friend, author and historian Rick Goldschmidt. He's da man on all things Rankin/Bass. So if you love ANIMAGIC (and historic kids TV shows) as much as me, his blog is a treat!

And now FLEXITOON is thrilled to be working with Art Carney's son, BRIAN, on a soon-to-be-announced television special of our own. Brian is the star of those hysterical GEIKO commercials, as well as the INTERVIEWER on our TALKING STAIN SPOT.
