Took me a While - but I Found a Problem with The INFO In MasterClass.

Each CELEBRITY.

(And that is what they are selling - STAR POWER.)

Each Celeb is told to ENTERTAIN.

Keep Things moving fast.

Break info into Bite Size "Lessons"

MY IDEA was to Try and Find SPECIFIC and DETAILED STORIES and INFO - I Could Write about in My Ezine. And Put In Sales Letters.

To That End - I watched 30 or 40 CELEBRITY PROGRAMS - 3, 4, 5 Lessons DEEP.

(AS We Say Out in the Country -
I Was GRAZING for the Good Stuff.)

Figuring IF THEY Don't Put the GOOD STUFF Up-Front
People Like Myself Would RUN AWAY.

Took me a While.

NEVER FOUND the "Good Stuff."

But STEVE MARTIN Was The Guy who made ME QUIT WATCHING - All The STARS on MASTER-CLASS.

Wow, Glenn...

Valuable feedback, especially for those (like me) who haven't signed up...

Steve Martin is an undeniable comedy genius...

Is he the first stand-up comedian to have filled sports stadiums (in the 1970s)?

I suspect he is...

I've listened to his stand-up comedy records (from the late 1970s and early 1980s) many, many times...!

(Back when I was an undergraduate student, I did a weekly comedy show on my university's student radio station, where I'd play 1 hour of comedy, both songs and stand-up... I was seriously considering trying to get into radio as a career, back in those days...)

Never was quite a fan of Steve Martin's song, "King Tut"... But I loved his stand-up... and his banjo-playing too!

Best wishes,
