    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    Michael Feinstein's American Songbook on PBS

    I was impressed with musician and archivist Vince Giordano, his group the Nighthawks, and his retro musical instruments, especially the violin with that megaphone attachment, used in early miked recordings.

    I'm not a fan of Feinstein, but I am a fan of the American Songbook and enjoyed viewing this PBS series. In a similiar vein, is the Songwriters Hall of Fame - Virtual Museum Home where you can search for composers, titles, songs, albums, etc. http://www.songwritershalloffame.org/

    Remembering Barbara Billingsley & Other Iconic TV Moms (& Dads)

    TV fans bid a fond adieu to the lady who many feel is the quintessential television mom, the perfect in every way, Barbara Billingsley (June Cleaver). There are many other TV parents who closely proximated the moral fortitude of Mrs. Cleaver but none in my opinion come close to June & her...

    TV Toons & Their Movie Origins

    Perhap's the second primetime Hanna Barbera toon would have been a more viable topic of discussion. The "Jetsons" was inspired by the Blondie movies from the late 30's and early 40's, which were based on the comic strip of the same name, right down to the hapless, milquetoast salalryman father...

    Speaking of Drive Ins?

    Remco Movieland Drive-In, circa 1958, only $5.99. Quite expensive for the time. This was one of my dad's favorites. I wish my dad hadn't been so tough on his toys. From what my grandfolks told me he broke this birthday present in just about 6 months time. The commercial for this Drive-In toy...

    Speaking of Drive Ins?

    Sad to say that every Drive In Theater in my neck of the woods has closed, except for two- the Fort Union Drive-In (Las Vegas, NM) and the Fiesta Drive-In (Carlsbad, NM). As a kid my family frequented the Zuni Drive-In, a hometown favorite. It was truly an event when we all packed into the...
