Hi: I have recently become interested in the Disney comic art of Pat
Block, but have only been able to dig up a few appearances of
stories(covers only are not of interest). Could someone add to the
short list of his appearances noted below?

---Uncle Scrooge Adventures: #34, 35
---Donald Duck Adventures: #27(1st Fernandez/Block appearance this
title, 1994); 30, 34, 37; he also was credited with covers for issues
31, 32.

Thanks, Ken McDaniel

Does anyone know the history of how Mickey turned into Donald, when the
Little Golden Book _Donald Duck's Christmas Tree_ was written? I assume that
the cartoon "Pluto's Christmas Tree" came first, and was adapted into the
Golden Book. Indeed, Pluto remains in the Golden Book. But instead of
Mickey's house, it's Donald's house, and the second page provides this
explanation: "Pluto was visiting with Donald because Mickey was away for the
holidays." Was the change from Mickey to Donald made because at the time the
book was written Donald was more popular among American children, thanks to
Barks and the comics? Or for some other reason?

I don't mind the Pluto-staying-with-Donald maneuver, but I am nonplussed by
the fact that Huey, Dewey and Louie don't appear to live with Donald in this
book! There are stockings at the hearth with their names, and their photo is
on the mantel, but their absence is unexplained, and on the last page it
says "And when Donald's nephews, Huey, Dewey, and Louie, came by to sing
carols, eat cookies, and drink eggnog, they all agreed that this was by far
their happiest Christmas Eve ever." When it says that they "came by" rather
than "came home," it definitely sounds as if they do not live with Donald.

This story appears to be a separate line of development from the
Donald-vs.-C&D Christmas story (or stories), where Donald fights Chip & Dale
with toys around the tree. In that case, did the cartoon "Toy Tinkers" come
first? Or did a comic book story such as W CP 2-08 (titled variously
"Christmas Fray" or "Such a Clatter") inspire the cartoon?

Brilliant choral repertoire
There is no shortage of Danish choral CDs. Somewhat too many, perhaps, as the repertoire is often unimaginative and the enthusiastic choirs tread on each others' heels with the same music. Here is something completely new: a thematic CD with "Waterworks". The CD includes just one Danish composer and otherwise takes us far and wide. The fact that I now choose to call attention to one single piece does not necessarily mean that this piece is the best (all here is good music) but because its idea is brilliant: "Den Hulkende S?mand" ["The Screaming Cowboy"], music for double choir set to lyrics familiar to all readers of Donald Duck (and who does not know Donald?): "Oh, sk?nk mig en grav ved det isgr?nne hav, hvor kun b?lgerne h?rer min gr?d!" Finnish Jaakko M?ntyj?rvi is the master behind this deeply serious composition for double choir. It should lure anyone, and no-one will feel tricked as this is nothing but good music in the best imaginable performance. Even those lacking interest in choir music should consider a purchase.

Hey Timo

You can buy the record here: http://kortlink.dk/waterworks/67ea , it
is not very expensive.

I didn't manage to find it as mp3 download anywhere. But maybe you can
search the web some more for that, if you don't want to buy the
physical CD.

Anyone hear anything about the status of this title? It was due out in early December, but still hasn't appeared. I had ordered extra copies to give as Christmas gifts.

I emailed Gemstone and asked about the status of this book, and received the following cryptic response:

"We have no information on this title".

Greetings! Here is the composer's website, but yes, unfortunately, no
Music Files with even a sample of the song.
http://web.mac.com/jaakko.mantyjarvi/Sivusto/Home_%3A%3A_Koti.html His
music for choir does appear on Amazon. As a Latin teacher, I did like
the Latin motto on his website:

?Nil significat nisi oscillat. Du vap. Du vap. Du vap.?

Roughly translated into the incorrect English from a famous song of the
last century: "It don't (sic) mean a thing, if it ain't (sic) got that
swing! Doo Wop Doo Wop Doo Wop"

Best Wishes!
