I read this on another site, but unfortunately the official Shatner website doesn't seem to be connecting.

This information is strictly only for those interested, but you may like to post confirmation, or otherwise.

Oh CRAP! Just when Little Hawk was on his way to a new life, this has to happen. What this time? Broadway tunes? Opera? The Three Tenors Plus One (fill in the blank)? Bill and Liza Do Judy?

Following his great performance in that commercial for the travel web site he's going on to bigger and better things?

Now we really have something to look forward to in 2003.

Yep, it's true! From this page at williamshatner.com:

I thought it worth mentioning here that I'm going to be making another record! By an enormous coincidence, the Foos brothers (they once owned Rhino Records) approached me and asked if I'd be interested in recording another record. Then about an hour later, Ben Folds (in case you are not familiar with him, he's kind of like a New Age Elton John) called me and asked me if I would perform on stage with him. So I realized that Fate had knocked at my door and I asked Ben if he would be interested in producing a record with me. He said yes, so we're going into the studio together in the spring and will assemble the record together.

Damn! Holidays are over. Time to hit the road again. Back to the grind...

*packing up the "tool kit": large mallet, sharpened wooden stakes, garlic, wolfbane, vials of holy water...*

No rest for the wicked.

So, a New Age Elton John meets with an Old Age Hasbeen Acotr with a bad hairpiece. What good can possibly come of this UNLESS they choose to do an all Neil Young review???? Or the soundtrack from "Songcatcher"?

My, my...good thing I checked in or I might have missed this! This is wonderful news, and presages another truly memorable milestone in music history, courtesy of the Shatman. YES!!!

It reminds me of the tremendous anticipation with which Bob Dylan's every new album was awaited during the 60's and 70's...only one thing is certain: it will be UNFORGETTABLE!!!!!

Sharpened wooden skates? You won't get rid of him with those. Better stick with what works. Which one of you has been keeping the inflatable female space alien doll decoy and the ham sniffing *StBHP missile?

*Surface to Bad Hairpiece

(P.S. I recently heard a recording of him doing some Shakespeare when he was still a stage actor, pre-Star Trek. It was a riot.)

Yes LH like "Mr Tambourine Man" it will be Unforgettable but we'll certainly try!

Must say, I did enjoy "A Christmas Carol" which was shown over the holiday starring one of Shatner's replacements, Patrick Stewart.

I highly recommend The Brothers Karamazov for a taste of Shatner's early overacting style.

SINSULL - I do not make New Year's resolutions. Never have. Besides, I did not say I would never be on Mudcat...just less! Nonetheless, you have a point, of sorts. (If you get an emery board, you can probably file it down with a little elbow grease...)

6129 posts from Little Hawk isn't so much. Take a look at some of the other statistics. MMario has posted 13091 times. Wow! Me, I'm well under 1000. But I do notice that there are several a day from LH since the notice came that he was back and isn't going to talk so much anymore. I detect some recidivism on his part. :-)

I still have that The Making of Star Trek volume around here somewhere. In case anyone is interested.
