![]() 9/16/97 - Behind-The-Scenes Fellow Greasfanatics... It's hard to know where to begin this latest update. There's a lot going on with "The Greaseman Show" First of all, find yourself an old "I Don't Believe The Post" bumpersticker. My thanks for the Post stafff for the great publicity, but the writer and editor (s) obviously wnated to put their own "shock jock" spin on it. Doug Tracht, the Falls Church Sheriff, is NOT "The Greaseman". He is a guy who has TRAINED and worked in the profession. His motives were both personal and civic: he gets to do something he REALLY enjoys, and he's doing Virginia taxpayers a favor by DOING IT FOR FREE!! ("Ask not what your....OOPS, getting carried away here!!) Our fans have been 100% behind us..it's very gratifying!! The press attention will come in handy this Fall as Grease's FIRST book is published. "And They Ask Me Why I Drink" (Pocket books) is a great looking hardback..loaded with laughs and Greaseman wackiness!! Whether taking the shuttle or taking a massive..this one will be accompaniment!! Details on the exact release date and related appearances will be here soon. Also this Fall, look for a BRAND NEW CD and tape collection of "Best Of" material. The as-of-yet untitled set (more than one CD) will all be culled from the L-A years, includiong highlights from the 1994 "World Tour"!! Joel Thatcher is handling the Producer duties on this one!! Finally, New york and Jersey fans take note. "The Greaseman Show" will be broadcasting live from New York at the Westwood One Studios on Thrusday and Friday, 9/25 and 9/26. We have a LIMITED number of seat available. If you are interested in attending the show (6-10 a.m.), please e-mail me at "greaseshow@aol.com" (re: NEW YORK TIX). We will get back to as many of you as we can. Meanwhile, your mission is to get some of these old farts off New York radio...Grease belongs back in the Apple. That's it for now..check back soon for details ont he book and CD!! Bill Scanlan Producer "The Greaseman Show" I think that about covers it |
