We went and saw the new Wicked movie. It was pretty good! It reminded me of the time in 2007 my daughters and I worked on a music video with The Firecracker Jazz Band. My youngest daughter, Louisa played Dorothy. My oldest daughter dances with the sailor. I play the Wicked Witch! Sculptor, John Payne, played Oz and we shot it in his studio at The Wedge. John, Chas Llewellyn and I made Tin Dog. There is a video of just the dog in the comments below. Here's the music video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_1NZfbEA6U&list=RDEMaGFdTUEuiYc-6hxvFAvjmg&start_radio=1 ... See MoreSee Less
