Man, every time I turn on PBS during a weekend afternoon; I'm reminded by how much I miss that show. I'm always hoping a similar show would pop up. Do anyone know if there is a way to watch some of those episodes? (If you're not familiar with it, its a show that was on PBS 6+ years ago. It featured Robert Maniscalco as the host who went around the Detroit area speaking with local artists as they show their talent.) |

Thanks for the link Danny. Still hoping for a return...or at least something similar. Yeah, I didn't realize it drew that large of number of viewers. |

Hey all. Thanks for your interest in the show. Tell the station to get something like it on the air. They cut back a lot on local programming, lack of funding. Maybe things have changed (I doubt it). BTW, Gravitymachine is right, I am so full of myself. The therapy is helping! Visit: http://maniscalcogallery.com/p ortrait-painter.htm |

Thanks, Robert, for the link to your website. I enjoyed the Augustus B. Woodward ppt on the history of that project. |
