Currently re-reading James Herriot's books.

If you guys can find the BBC adaptation of Dylan Thomas' "A Child's Christmas In Wales." I highly recommend it!

Several years ago PBS showed a special program during the holiday season which was nothing more than actors recreating the original script for The Lux version of It's A Wonderful Life. I remember Tim Robbins was George and Joe Mantegna had a couple of roles... particularly memorable was his...

:offtopic: Did we mention that when creating the pilot for the television series "I Love Lucy" Desi and Lucy also recorded a pilot for a radio show of the same name? They figured if the networks didn't pick up one, they might pick up the other!

Carlton E Morse did two adventure/mystery serials. "Adventures by Morse" and "I Love A Mystery." Some of the story lines only ran for three episodes, while others ran for ten. So in answering the question of how I listen to serials, whether all-at-once or one at a time... It really depends on...

A million years ago at work, Van Morrison's "Moondance" came on the muzak and I grabbed a friend and we started dancing. It was rather quite amusing.

Didn't Los Lobos work on the soundtrack for the film LaBamba?

That does sound like a pretty neat way to spend an evening!

Yes. Beyond The Rhine was just published within the last year, I believe. It's a little shorter than the other three books, but a nice finish to the series.

It does sound like a neat place. I'd like to get a job there!

Webster's book was pretty good. Another great one to look out for is "Beyond Band of Brothers: The War Memoirs of Major Dick Winters" by Dick Winters and Cole C. Kingseed. Also, Donald Burgett's books are well worth reading if you're interested the 101st Airborne.

Casablanca and The Godfather.

Always glad to lend a hand when I can. I have always loved programs produced for AFRS. Command Performance, Mail Call, Jubille, GI Jive... Any word on Reveille With Beverly out there?

Disregarding any questions about Stephen Ambrose's "plagiarism," you must give him credit for capturing an important part of our history, and must applaud HBO for creating a masterful miniseires. If I were a history teacher, the series would be required viewing for my students. Here's a site...

It is one of my top three favorite movies!
