Here's a shot of Steve Zind and myself in the studio on 24th St. The carts I referred to in a previous post about the theft on Camelback can be seen in the background. They were about 8" wide, made of wooden sides and plastic top & bottom. They were originally used by Channel 12, who donated them to Charles Buzzard at Phx College, who headed up a fledgling program that featured station KFCA, which later became KMCR, and is now KJZZ. They were primitive (or should we say, prototypes) but they worked! And note to Cammie Noel: We used them to play commercials!


"I was on acid and I looked at the trees and I realized that they all came to points, and the little branches came to points, and the houses came to point. I thought, 'Oh! Everything has a point, and if it doesn't, then there's a point to it.'" -- Harry Nilsson

here i am responding to my own post! It was Dean (Jan & Dean) Torrance's wife who made the needlepoint cover art for The Point album
I love the POINT it is one of my favorite movies! The weird thing is I had an old video tape of it I lent to my Nieces and Nephews and they taped over it.
(so I ordered a new one)
To my surprise on the new tape the narrator had an English accent.
(I don't remember this from before) so I did a little investigating.
Come to find out that Ringo Starr bought the rights to the movie (along with Thomas The Train, I think some are now narrated by Alec Baldwin)
Anyway...
The original was narrated by Dustin Hoffman.
Ringo dose a nice job BUT I do like the narration by Dustin Hoffman better.
(Maybe because that's the way I remember it when I was a kid back in 1971)

Good to hear from you Holley! I haven't heard the Ringo narrated one, but think I"ll stick to my vinyl copy and slide back to my youth with the familiar version. I totally understand what you mean! But I had forgotten that Dustin Hoffman narrated the original.
