and why she decided to write this tribute to her father. Welcome to The Book Connection. Susan. I’m happy you could join us. It is a pleasure Cheryl. Thank you for inviting me. So that we can get to know you a little better can you share some of your past professional experiences with us? I began my career as a casting director working on such shows as: Happy Days. Laverne and Shirley. Mannix and The Odd Couple. I then formed Susan McCray Casting – an independent company and cast “Little House on the Prairie”. “Father Murphy” “Hawaii 5-0” and several movies of the week including; “The Diary Of Anne Frank". “The Five of Me” and “Rodeo Girl” When dear friend Michael Landon started his own production company – Michael Landon Productions. I became Vice-President of Talent for his company and cast the television series. “Highway To Heaven". TV movies “Where Pigeons Go To Die” starring Art Carney and the Michael Landon Pilot “US” for CBS. Two years ago. I was asked to create and host an internet radio show on KSAV org. "Getting To Know You” is a wonderful way for listeners to get to know the history of well known/successful people from all walks of life and to learn how they became successful in a business they chose to pursue. And of course. I became a first time author writing a children’s book that was a labor of love for me; the story of the young life of my father titled “Harry’s Piano.”Did your years in the entertainment industry help you with getting published? No it did not…I thought the entertainment business was incredibly difficult complicated and competitive to coin the phrase “Dog Eat Dog” business. I was wrong… publishing is just as if not more of all of those. You decided to self-publish this book. Was self-publishing a good experience for you? Were there any stumbling blocks along the way to publication?As I mentioned – this is a complicated business and there is as in most businesses so much to learn and understand. In some cases I learned as I went along. Actually. I think I probably had a good experience because I self-published the book. There really weren’t stumbling blocks. Tell us about What years of your father’s life does this book cover? "Harry’s Piano" is about the very early years of my father’s life. When he began piano lessons at 5 yrs old - his concerts at the age of 9 – to becoming a successful accompanist for well known violinists and opera singers at 12 yrs old Then becoming a conductor/ musical director for radio to his developing career after arriving in Hollywood. California when he appeared as a guest soloist at the famous Hollywood Bowl. At the conclusion of the book I write about how he achieved his dream –becoming one of the most successful composers for television and motion pictures and how he received the ultimate tribute… the Academy Award. Where did you find the illustrator for ? Having seen these illustrations. I can say that they alone could make the book worth buying. I actually found Karen C. Rhine by searching online. I was incredibly lucky. I went to her website and looked at some of her previous illustrations for other books she had done. As I recall she mentioned she never did a children’s book such as mine. When I sent the manuscript to her and spoke with her on the phone about the story she was very taken by it. Though she had never seen a photograph of my father or the family it was truly uncanny how she was able to capture the likeness of all of them. Even my father’s piano teachers. Most especially the great illustration of how Harry’s piano was lifted outside his apartment building into the apartment window … it is a glorious picture that all children who read the book truly love. There is an exhibit of Harry Sukman’s life and career on permanent display in the Harry Sukman Foyer at the University of Hartford in Hartford. Connecticut. Can you tell us what it was like to go through your father’s papers and belongings to decide what would be included in this display? How did this lead to the writing of ? I wanted to have my father’s career memorabilia as well as his beloved Steinway grand piano in a place that would be appreciated and loved by those who want to achieve their dream to become successful musicians. Through my husband Kent who is an alumn of the Hartt School of Music which became one of the schools that comprises the University of Hartford. I thought that would be an outstanding place. We are by the way both on the board of Regents at the University of Hartford. I began by writing my father’s “Life In Music” which is combined with memorabilia on nine panels on display in a space I completely renovated. The once dark and dingy lobby was dubbed (by me) as a Foyer - The Harry Sukman Foyer. When gathering numerous pieces of memorabilia for display it took me back to my early childhood. The days I would hear my father practice and get the calls for work at Paramount Studios when he was a staff pianist there. When listening to the old “glass” records from early concerts in Chicago – his music sketches – his scores and his personal papers. I think you can imagine how emotional all of that was for me. The memories these things brought back – the great musicians who came to our home and would perform their music with my father the funny stories. You see I am an only child and my best friends were my mother – who was also a professional pianist organist and painter - and my father. So going through all the memorabilia was actually like feeling the loss of my best friends all over again. When the Foyer was dedicated there was a beautiful concert to honor my father and his work which I put together. The Hartford Symphony as well as my father’s friend – Sinatra’s musical director. Vincent Falcone who played his arrangements of some of my father’s music and conducted the orchestra. Before the concert there was a lovely reception for everyone to tour the space and read the panels. Cheryl Kloczko then Principal of the University of Hartford Magnet Elementary School was reading the history of my father. She turned to me and said; “Susan this material would make an incredible children’s book.” When we left Hartford. CT and returned home to California. I took all my notes and writings for the panels and added personal remembrances told to me by my father and my Aunt Rose (dad’s sister now 97) and started to write “Harry’s Piano”. I feel in my heart it is a story for all who love music. I thought including a CD of my father playing a couple of his compositions would also add to the beauty of the book. I just remembered one particular quote of my father’s I found in his papers. It seems to be quite poignant these days:“Music is sound but not all sound is music.”Where can readers purchase a copy of Harry’s Piano?Harry’s Piano can be purchased on its official website:What is up next for you? Are there future projects you would like to share with us today? Will there be a sequel to ?I have just produced a new CD. It has ten selections composed by my father. They are arranged in the jazz genre by Vincent Falcone and played in trio by Vincent Falcone Trio. It will be released next month and can be purchased on or can be ordered at your music store. The CD is truly something for all to enjoy. I am seriously thinking about producing a possible short film based on “Harry’s Piano”. I would love to do that but we’ll see – it is a big undertaking. Is there anything else you would like to add?My internet radio show “Getting To Know You” will be celebrating its second anniversary on KSAV org - I am planning a special show. I hope to make a portion of it a Live show for people to call in. I love speaking to listeners and answering their questions. Thank you so much for spending some time with us today. Susan. We’ve enjoyed getting to know more about your father’s life. I think "Harry’s Piano" is an inspiring children’s book for those who have a dream in music. I always quote my friend Michael Landon when talking about dreams: “Never give up on your dreams for if you work hard and keep dreaming they can come true -they did for me.”It is always my pleasure to share thoughts and remembrances of my father. He was a fine musician and an even finer man. Note: I encourage everyone to check out my review of

Travel to Isaan to see Thailand as it should be. Simple life genuine people and the most unspoiled area of Thailand. Isaan encompasses these cities and more: Ubon Ratchathani. Sisaket. Mukdahan. Udonthani. Khon Kaen. Roi-Et. Yasothan.. I carry humorous stories notes and photos to Isaan Style as a teacher living in Isaan. These are more pictures from last week’s school celebration. These young kindergarten students came across to add their messages to the golden tree. Each person takes a golden leaf and writes a message to the HRH the King of Thailand. Some of the branches had broken from the weight of all the messages and had to be tied up and braced. This little painting stall had people all day for the 2 days and people just painted away. Each canvas is 20 baht except for a few special ones that usually are more detailed and cost 30 baht. Here some older girls are happily painting away; one has the very popular Winnie the Pooh and Piglet canvas. I am sure that Walt Disney is receiving royalties for these so don’t be worried. And another group of older kids painting away. It really is cheap entertainment. 20 baht for an hour or so and you can chat away and speak until your head falls off. This canvas had a conceive of of a boy and a girl kissing this is very taboo in Thailand well in public anyway. I can truly say I have never ever seen 2 Thai people have a touch in public. This boy created a masterpiece. The picture is of a young boy looking like he is going to strike the young girl on the cheek he has one eye open the other closed. The girl has her eyes closed and a funny looking smirk as well. Another popular Walt Disney character Minnie Mouse. These small students had their masks which were in shapes of pigs fish and rabbits. They put on a very interesting show on the big stage one I won’t forget for a while. These girls were dressed Korean call and did a traditional style dance as well. It was good for a change. Some of the young guys had enough of all the fun and just sat around and sang Thai pop/move back and forth songs. I love the sound of an acoustic guitar it is one thing I really wanted to learn and never have. I can sit and listen to people play for hours the sound they can produce from a single guitar is hard to fathom and the only other thing I would like to learn would be the piano. You have either of these wherever you are it means hours of fun just singing along to old favourites or the latest tunes as well. So this was some more pictures from all the fun. Brunty. Brunty does someone eventually collect the messages off the tree? if so do the messages get sent to the King or is it more like sending messages to Santa where they end up in the rubbish bin? Hey MJ. The messages will probably be displayed until the King's birthday on the 5th of December. After that they will probably be stored away never to be seen again. There were some official books that people could sign and write well wishes to the King and they were collected and sent to the palace. So yes it's like Santa Claus. i wish that someone at least tallies up the message totals and reports them to His Royal Highness so he knows how many people love him. Have lived in Isaan country for 3 years and teaching at a private school. Loving life in The Far North East of Thailand

Travel to Isaan to see Thailand as it should be. Simple life genuine people and the most unspoiled area of Thailand. Isaan encompasses these cities and more: Ubon Ratchathani. Sisaket. Mukdahan. Udonthani. Khon Kaen. Roi-Et. Yasothan.. I bring humorous stories notes and photos to Isaan Style as a teacher living in Isaan. These are more pictures from last week’s school celebration. These young kindergarten students came across to add their messages to the golden tree. Each person takes a golden leaf and writes a message to the HRH the King of Thailand. Some of the branches had broken from the charge of all the messages and had to be tied up and braced. This little painting delay had people all day for the 2 days and people just painted away. Each canvas is 20 baht except for a few special ones that usually are more detailed and cost 30 baht. Here some older girls are happily painting away; one has the very popular Winnie the Pooh and Piglet canvas. I am sure that Walt Disney is receiving royalties for these so don’t be worried. And another group of older kids painting away. It really is cheap entertainment. 20 baht for an hour or so and you can chat away and gossip until your head falls off. This canvas had a picture of a boy and a girl kissing this is very taboo in Thailand well in public anyway. I can truly say I have never ever seen 2 Thai people have a kiss in public. This boy created a masterpiece. The picture is of a young boy looking like he is going to peck the young girl on the cheek he has one eye open the other closed. The girl has her eyes closed and a funny looking smirk as well. Another popular Walt Disney character Minnie Mouse. These small students had their masks which were in shapes of pigs fish and rabbits. They put on a very interesting show on the big stage one I won’t forget for a while. These girls were dressed Korean style and did a traditional style dance as well. It was good for a change. Some of the young guys had enough of all the fun and just sat around and sang Thai pop/rock songs. I love the sound of an acoustic guitar it is one thing I really wanted to learn and never have. I can sit and comprehend to people play for hours the sound they can produce from a single guitar is hard to fathom and the only other thing I would like to learn would be the piano. You have either of these wherever you are it means hours of fun just singing along to old favourites or the latest tunes as well. So this was some more pictures from all the fun. Brunty. Brunty does someone eventually collect the messages off the tree? if so do the messages get sent to the King or is it more desire sending messages to Santa where they end up in the rubbish bin? Hey MJ. The messages will probably be displayed until the King's birthday on the 5th of December. After that they will probably be stored away never to be seen again. There were some official books that people could sign and write well wishes to the King and they were collected and sent to the palace. So yes it's like Santa Claus. i hope that someone at least tallies up the message totals and reports them to His Royal Highness so he knows how many people love him.
