Besides The Forbidden Dance, that is my favorite one!

And now, one of my favorite B. Kilban classics:

And I saw an elk. Two elk. Elks?

You saw two representatives of the Cervus canadensis species.

DR John G. -

There was an interesting book review in the Sunday NY Times a few months ago, reviewing the publication of Willa's letters, and the ethical issues of doing so, seeing as how she never wanted them published.

Here it is, in case you didn't see it:

Thank you. I look forward to reading that book if I ever have the chance to read again. And I'll forward this on to a friend of mine who's a big Cather fan.

I didn't know that the cervus were from Canada!

Many people don't know that in Dr. Seuss' original draft, it was not the Grinch, but the Elk, who stole Christmas:

I am soon to be off to the penultimate performance of ANGEL STREET.

Once again, loved all the "extras" in today's notes. And "That's All" is a most wonderful classic song.

I LOVE "That's All." Guy Haines does a great job with it. I also love Sam Harris' duet version with Laurie Beechman!

He's the director. He doesn't have to be sober!

Is that from Google, DR Mike? Looks like they're a little off on the address. That house now has a solid fence blocking the street view of the front yard where they installed a pool. (We didn't have one when we lived there.)

Bing has it right. You'll have to zoom in: http://binged.it/198cKLl

Bing Crosby would no doubt have had it right, too.

I think this is the novelization of HHW..... "Never had so desperate a group of human beings banded together...."

An excellent observation!

My mom, Eileen (a friend of hers), Eileen's grandkids and my sister and I went to the beach one weekend when my sister and I were in high school and Eileen had a book called "Space on My Hands" by Fredric Brown. It's a collection of science fiction short stories. I can't remember if this was my first introduction to his writings. I don't think so, but he instantly became one of my favorite authors, and still is to this day. Anyway, this is the cover of the book that Eileen had (how can you forget a cover like that?):

And the stories are really good...but the cover has absolutely nothing to do with them.

I just listened to this again on Wednesday and I really like it, too!
