Ted Lewis could make the clarinet talk. What it said was ‘put me back in the case!’

Haven't blogged for a long time, so here goes...

Today I was training for The Ted Lewis Centre in Barton on Humber, North Lincolnshire, UK. Ted Lewis was an author, graphic designer, artist and jazz musician. He wrote, among others, "Jack's Return Home", which became the movie "Get Carter". The Centre is a museum about his life and work.

“I think of myself as an artist who plays football, not as a ball player who paints”: R.I.P. Bernie Casey: football hero, actor, artist, poet. Advance U.S. poster for the #Blaxploitation movie #HITMAN (1973) starring #BernieCasey and #PamGrier (film was based on the #TedLewis novel #JacksReturnHome, which was more famously adapted as #GETCARTER)

Anyone who knows of Ted Lewis will recognize that voice of his right away.  Anyone who knows of a show called Kirby of the Star (or Kirby: Right Back At Ya according to 4kids) knows that he voiced King Dedede's lackey, Escargon.  Anyone who knows me personally knows that I have a love-hate relationship with this show and not because of the 4kids dubbing.  But that's a rant for another day never.

This is still in development but since I have no work tomorrow I'll probably have it all finished or mostly by then.
