While this wasn’t the first time Hallmarkies saw him, 2018 was a big year for him in terms of this network. Recently, Josh agreed to answer […]

    Well, this is yet another milestone. Welcome to my sixth interview with Paul Greene, a Hallmark favorite who undoubtedly needs no introduction whatsoever. And each time we chat, he raises the bar (which is totally mind-boggling), and I find that I respect him even more than I did before. Indeed, this most recent chat is no exception. While many of […]

    Sometimes connections with people I have the opportunity to interview come from unforeseen places. I honestly don’t remember how and when Kendall Johnson’s wife (Sheila) first reached out to me, but their friendship with Paul Greene is what eventually drew us together. This past summer, Kendall and I took some time for an engaging chat, and I am honored and […]

    Two years ago when Summer of Dreams premiered on the Hallmark Channel, Mitchell Kummen recommended that I interview a young musician friend of his, Sean Thomas, who was featured in the movie. Since that time, I have been a HUGE fan of Sean’s and seeing him come back to Hallmark for the sequel, Wedding of Dreams, is a special treat! In honor of […]

However, while a love of music is amazing in all forms, for anyone, everyone should listen to, and strive to fall in love with, some form of classical music. For kids, this is easier said than done, but an introduction into classical […]
