The Door Of Fame

Wednesday 9 June 2010 - Filed under All Posts + Community & History + General

Now that I have a home studio, and more specifically a BOOTH, people are starting to show up to record their own projects here at my place. Which is fine with me, as it’s fun and relatively easy money.

The other day I was recording actress (and Seinfeld alumnus) Lee Garlington for my friend Janet Wilcox’s book project, when I thought ‘This is the third luminary-type I’ve had in [Rudolf Martin and Donna Bacalla being the first two], I should really start getting some autographs.’

Looking around for something for Lee to sign, I thought of the big bulletin boards in the hallway at Buzzy’s Recording, where I did the narration for all the Food Network shows some years ago. The boards are covered with hundreds of signatures from the many voice talent who have recorded there, going back over 3 decades now, and if you look around you’ll find the biggest names in the business – Mel Blanc, for example.

And then it hit me – the DOOR of my booth is essentially a big bulletin board, made of a smooth white material that takes a permanent marker very nicely. So, the Door Of Fame was born – and here it is:

Not much yet, but one can only imagine the famous-types that will eventually populate the Door Of Fame…I’ll post more pics as it fills up.
