Speaking of B&W photos, would you believe I have a real darkroom in my house that’s set up for black-and-white film and photo developing? (Color is a lot more demanding in terms of equipment and temperature and light control.)When the house was being built and it was decided that I was to be its owner, I was able to ask for a few custom things, and this was one of them. I sketched out what I needed in terms of a sink and countertop and cabinet space, and they made room for it by taking a few feet of interior garage space which didn’t impact the parking of a car there, and building a narrow room out into that space. It’s entered from the Music Room and looks like just another closet. Sadly, that age has passed, even though I’m often tempted to shoot a few rolls and have at it for old times sake. And I’m afraid it’s just a storage space now, even though all the equipment is there and it could easily be made operational again if I cleared everything else out of there. But I really need to accept that that ain’t gonna happen, and clean it up and sell it.

It was a wonderful experience to be trusted by Jim, and his rep then for his novels Jesseca Salky, with making a musical of that novel. The last thing he wrote to us when we sent him the latest 2019 version of the script was: "I appreciate the script PDF. Rest assured that I am delighted to be with you always on the VIVA MAX! adventure. My best, Jim"
