Actor Robert Picardo and I have been great pals for (gulp) more than 30 years! You might know him from “Star Trek Voyager” where he played the Holographic Doctor for 6 seasons, or perhaps “China Beach” where he again played a doctor...this one flesh & blood. He recently recorded a CD - a recreation of the score from the 1970 movie "Scrooge", with Bob singing the role of the curmudgeonly title character. His performance is really wonderful. Just for fun (and a few bucks too!) - I jumped at the opportunity to create a portrait of Bob as Scrooge for the CD's cover. This music is obviously perfect for the holidays, and if you're interested in purchasing or downloading it - go here.
