Yet that tone of voice, at times calming and sometimes spellbinding, offers enthralled an incredible number of children through recordings and concerts. Weiss’ storytelling, and specifically, his collection of materials, offers garnered multiple honours and has produced him one of the better offering storytellers in the ’90s. A indigenous of Chicago, Illinois, Weiss shifted to LA to become public school instructor. He previously hoped to create and sing tracks privately, but he and his wife Randy hated the fast-paced existence in LA. Therefore the Weiss family members moved to north California. Weiss have been informing tales to his girl, Danna, for a long time. Therefore, in 1989, Weiss got his last $12,000 and place it into developing his personal recording business, Greathall Productions. He arranged to work documenting original and traditional stories such as for example “The Knights from the Roundtable” and “The Three Musketeers,” and advertising them to 3rd party bookstores and children’s record shops. Weiss were able to create 19 full-length albums in eight years, including Ruler Arthur and His Knights, Sherlock Holmes for Kids and Shakespeare for Kids. On the way, he found nearly every honor, including Oppenheim Plaything Portfolio Best Sound, Parent’s Choice Yellow metal, and multiple American Library Association honours. In 1998, he and his family members moved once again, to Virginia.
