My dear friend, multitalented funnyman Mark Wirtz, has made the Top Five round in the Famecast comedy competition - thanks to many of you! It’s now the final week of voting, and Mark needs to get as many votes as he can in order to take it all the way!!!  Please check out Mark’s NEW comedy video by clicking on the graphic below, and cast your vote for Mark.  Please vote for him DAILY - every vote counts!

Mark is a renowned music producer, arranger, composer, singer, author, artist, and stand-up comedian (whew!) who is best known as the creator of the Teenage Opera concept in the UK - in the 1960’s when Keith West had a hit with the Wirtz-produced "Excerpt From a Teenage Opera" (aka "Grocer Jack," which Mark also cowrote with Keith) - as well as the cool "A Touch of Velvet, A Sting of Brass."  Chances are you’re familiar with Mark’s work even if you don’t know his name.  Since shifting his focus from music to comedy, Mark has been appearing regularly at comedy clubs in Georgia, Florida, and beyond.  His style is dry, edgy, British - and very funny!  (For more info, please visit my The Music and Comedy of Mark Wirtz on Oldies Connection.)

Registration on the Famecast site is fast, free and easy (like Mark!); it takes just a few minutes to do so and, after you’ve registered, you can remain signed in to the site and vote once a day.  Please vote for Mark every day - with your help, HE WILL WIN!

VOTING ENDS at 12:00 p.m. (NOON) on FRIDAY, APRIL 4, 2008.  EVERY DAY COUNTS!
