connie and jimmy, Episode 2
In the second installment of connie & jimmy, an episodic 1940’s black & white mini-series, the couple deals with a hairy situation that’s not so black & white. Jimmy has all the best intentions but he can’t seem to avoid slipping up. Good thing Connie can keep him in check with her talent for turning classic songs on their heads in an effort to teach Jimmy an important fashion faux pas. connie & jimmy keeps your heart all aflutter but your feet on the ground. Check out the new socially conscious musical mini-series starring Connie Castanzo as Connie, James Koroni as Jimmy (and creative director, writer, editor & producer). Enjoy! http://connieandjimmy.com/
