Big News

Big news. I am thrilled to tell you that you can expect a Forgotten Bookmarks book by this time next year. It will be published by Perigee Books, and I couldn't have done it without my agent Kate McKean (http://twitter.com/kate_mckean) and my new editor Maria Gagliano (http://twitter.com/mariagagliano)

And of course, I ...wouldn't have been able to do it without all of you readers. Thank you.

Nick Marco And The Venetians

 Advertisement for "Nick Marco and The Venetians" and their single "Little Boy Lost."

It was The Cash Box's Pick of the Week:

The Dwain folks could have the big one they've been looking for in this slice that debuts the attention-getting vocal talents of Nick Marco & The Venetians. Tune, tabbed "Little Boy Lost," is an extremely pretty broken romancer set to a soft rock-a-cha cha beat. Intriguing instrumental backdrop rounds out this winner. Companion piece is a lovely beat-ballad affair (with mid-deck recitation) that falls easily-on-the-ears.

Found in "West Coast Cook Book" by Helen Brown. Published by Cookbook Collectors Library, 1952.

I did a bit of searching online to see what I could find. Here are a few more pictures from whitedoowopcollector.blogspot.com:

And here they are, ladies and gentlemen, Nick Marco and the fabulous Venetians:
