At the Grammys tonight, the award for Best Spoken Word Album for Children went to Buck Howdy for Aaaaah! Spooky, Scary Stories & Songs. David had been nominated for The Phantom Tollbooth.

Congrats, Buck, and hard luck David – and fellow nominees Dean Pitchford (Captain Nobody), Ed Asner (Scat), Harlan Ellison (Through the Looking Glass) and, err, Various Artists (Nelson Mandela’s Favourite African Folktales).

What do DHP and Beyonce have in common?

There’s a new video interview with David at WCBSTV.com about the Holiday Show.

He also talks about his Grammy nomination for The Phantom Tollbooth and going to Sundance for The Perfect Host.

We like it – playful and kidlike, but also understated. Let’s hope the Grammy judges like it too!
