LONNIE'S Fall, 2011 THE LATEST MOUSEKA-NEWS - October There's a new video on YouTube that's being called a 56th MMC Anniversary video for 2011. It's actually a made-for-TV documentary from 1995, our 40th Anniversary, that presents the history of the original Mickey Mouse Club. It aired on the Disney Channel in 1995 and has run RARELY. Saddle your ponies and take a deep mouseka-breath because it's 50+ minutes long!

CONFESSIONS OF AN ACCIDENTAL MOUSEKETEER

A
few reviews: "If you grew up watching THE MICKEY MOUSE CLUB, as I did, you'll enjoy learning about Lonnie's show-business adventures from childhood on. He talks about early days on live and filmed television, how he was chosen to join the Club, what it was like on the set and around the Disney studio and what he's been up to ever since -- including scores of stage and television appearances." Leonard Maltin "This an easy book to read... After a few chapters Tristram Shandy came to my mind, though I think the author would regard Proust rather than Sterne as an exemplar. His frequent discursive asides, which always just manage to meander back to the mainstream at chapter's end, are his own unique style however, as are bawdy anecdotes..." www.originalmmc.com "Of
course, I was most interested in events and impressions related to the
Mickey Mouse Club. The book goes well beyond those experiences, as it
should since it represents some 60 years of performing
professionally...the book gives a unique perspective on one of the most
influential television shows in history."
