I saw country music artist Stacy Dean Campbell briefly tour Wayne's Alamo set on his TV show Bronco Roads today. It was pretty interesting and a fella named Currilla showed the singer around.

Ha! Was that finally on? Or was it a rerun? They shot it two April's ago! Wonderful team! Stacy is very cool and was quite into being at Alamo Village. His producer Erin Gardner is the best there is. Very positive go-getter who very quickly got me on their team.
They also shot an 11-minute short (the main reason they contracted with us). It is called "The Birth of Saint Eliseo" and takes place on the Tex-Mex border around 1930. I put them in touch with Estephania LeBaron (Juana Alsbury in THE ALAMO) and they used her in a very effective silent part, key to the story. It has already won one or two film festival awards, but I don't know if it can be seen anywhere. The program you saw showed Stacy directing it.

It may have been a rerun, but it was a first run for me. I had never seen the show before, so it was a real treat. They only showed a brief except from Saint Eliseo. It was mostly just you and Stacy, hanging out like Wayne and Widmark.

That is, it wasn't part of the plan for shooting Saint Eliseo, but Stacy and Erin asked if they could come back and do it. I knew it would be a tremendous little promotional piece and heck, I just enjoyed them so much that I agreed immediately.

Well, it was doubly good.

The segment was produced by 41 Entertainment and London Broadcasting of Addison, Texas. Kristi Hale and I went to the premiere party they had for The Birth of Saint Eliseo. Fine evening; fine people; fine products; fine date.

It's two years later. What is the latest news on Alamo Village? Is it open, closed, or "once in a while"?

It is closed. We are still hoping. I can take a person or two in occasionally, if it can be worked out. I also have continued to host occasional short-term productions like segments for Animal Planet, History Channel, History Channel Latin America, as well as an Alamo documentary for the G.L.O. and the Alamo plus a few commercials -- all only 1 to 3-day shoots.

Thank you for the updated news. One question what is G.L.O.?

Rich, my Texas history Facebook page now has 120,000+ followers. Let me know if there's anything I or we can do to help.

Thanks, tracesoftexas. I'm afraid the only thing that will help at this point is to locate major investors (risk capital, like those who invest in oil wells, race horses and independent movie productions) and put them in touch with David Jones, who is the fellow who has the plan for purchase, restoration, operation and advertising that could bring it all back to life for the next generation. Nothing short of this will help and would just be money going down the drain.

Bill Barajas of KSAT-TV Channel 12 in San Antonio has just shot an interview with me at Alamo Village. The interview will be televised on KSAT-TV Channel 12, San Antonio, at 10:00 P.M. Monday (October 13). Bill will let me know when and where it will be viewable on-line, and I will post the link as soon as I find out.
TracesofTexas, this might be something you would care to post on your Facebook history page.
