I always try to be fresh and present to you everything I possibly can on the blog each day that will be of interest whether it be a current news item concerning ventriloquism or a ventriloquist or something from the past like a figure maker or a ventriloquist figure.
I must tell you it is a job and if you have ever tried to do this you will find it is not easy. That being said I am looking for your input to help keep the blogs flowing.
After I posted pictures and information about this nice little Alfred LeMare figure that was owned by McQuisto, many have asked to see a video, so here you go.
Here’s a video that shows “Danny Dog’s” headstick and mechanics. As you can see Brant Gilmer does some very fine work.
For me going to ConVENTion has become, for me, almost like a great family get together and getting together with all my friends every year is simply a treat that is very hard to put into words. I simply love the comradery that is shared by all who attend.
But for me one of the best parts about the ConVENTion is attending the Junior Open mike session. These youngsters that perform every year simply blow me away with every aspect of their performances.
I have given you all the important information on McQuisto in previous blogs but today I am happy to show you his Ventriloquist Figure Wee George.
Wee George was crafted just after the turn of the 19th century and was made by Alfred LeMare. When I first purchased him I was not sure of the maker but once he arrived and I got to see the head stick and controls I immediately knew it was a LeMare creation.
