SPECIAL
THANKS TO:
Sylvia
and Erik Robison, who coined the term "Hollywood Style"
and in a few hours blew away the clouds. Marcus Koch and Barbl Kaufer
who suffered our sofa bed in the name of dance. Shawn and Debbie
Carter who provided us with inspiration and, of course, Dean Collins
and all those others alive and dead whose creativity and skill from
sixty years ago still provide a guiding light. |
