In 1997, Stacey Pierrot put up a webpage for Christine Rosamond. She asked people who loved Christine, and knew her, to come forward and be in the biography she hired a ghost writer to write. My sixteen year old daughter saw this ad, and went to the reopening of the Rosamond Gallery. They did not contact…

This goes back to our conversation at the ruins of Jack London’s Wolf House where I told my wife to be my families creative legacy was falling into the hands of outsiders the same…

I have been having lengthy Facebook conversations with my niece, Shannon Rosamond, and her father, Larry Sidle, who just told me Scott was bird-dogging Christine while they were married. Larry knew Scott in High School. I told my ex-brother-in-law that Drew Benton owns no fond feelings for her mother. He just got Snyder’s book, that he…

I am certain Royal Rosamond took these pictures of Eutropia Maude Kelly-Wieneke. One of Christine’s first works was titled ‘Muffy’. This is Eutropia’s granddaughter with her dog, Muffy. This is a universal image, especially to girls who wear glasses. This one of Rosamond’s finest. The four Presco children met this little girl at least once.…

Here is Bijan.

Stacey and Bijan want to wear The Rosamond Mask that was sold by the millions all over the world. It…

When I saw the image of the La La Lovers climbing up that hill, I was reminded of our third date, when she took me to meet Jazz Great, Les McCann. Marilyn and I were fifteen and sixteen. I was forced to go to Baptist Church, and later, three Billy Graham meeting at the LA Coliseum, at…

Originally posted on Rosamond Press: When Kathy Vrzak sent me her threatening Cease and Desist message on facebook, we were collaborating on several projects. I thought I was an ally of ISGC, and I had banded together with old friends to promote this choir. I have counted sixteen videos I made and made available to…

Originally posted on Rosamond Press: In the photo above you will notice I am wearing a cast on my hand. It is there because I hit the wall in Kathy’s apartment where Marilyn was living in 1963. Marilyn told me she had slept with a twenty six year old German jet-setter, a real international player.…
