    All seven seasons available on Britbox. Not sure where else.

    Very easy read and very interesting. Not sure yet how he came to the amount of detail. Maybe a little of Edmund Morris' Dutch?

    No, the Kelly McGillis photos are what's called aging.

    Did you do the netflix original Get Shorty? I'm a fan of Irish actor Chris O'Dowd. I also watched the Death in Paradise series. A light detective series, with two changes to the main DI character over the seven seasons. Attractive French and Afro/French actresses a plus.

    Johnny Fry was the first rider. He was later killed at the Battle of Baxter Springs (KS) by members of Quantrill's Raiders. BTW there is a Pony Express Museum in St. Joseph, MO. Well worth the visit if you're in the area.

    Similar in fall of '65. I didn't do any adds or drops, but didn't you have to go to the department office back then for adds and drops?

    Mrs. Rex Ryan?

    Just started watching Family Tree from Christopher Guest. Stars Chris O'Dowd, who was great in Get Shorty (on Netflix?). Seems true to Guest form, so if you like his work, you might like this. Only through first episode so far. Also, being big into genealogy, my wife and I find this particularly amusing.

    I miss the old Ace Record Store on Elm in downtown Dallas in the 60s. Thousands of used Blues and R&B 78s for $2-5. Never could afford much, but could spend hours just looking.

    Another record club kiddo here, only I was with RCA Victor, as I was mostly into jazz and swing. This was certainly one of my first that I purchased myself if not the first. I was working at a laundromat for 50 cents an hour and LPs at the time ran $2.98 for the most part. This was more, as it was a double album. Released in 1960, I still had it until a house flood about 3 years ago. I lost hundreds of LPs, 45s, and 78s. C'est la Vie. It goes to show you never can tell. This was great, as it included Caruso, Tommy Dorsey, Harry Belafonte, and Maurice Chevalier, an eclectic collection. I played the hell out of it in the early 60s.

    Always loved Allen's writing and performing. Only time I've seen him was in 2014 with Alejandro Escovedo's United Sounds of Austin. Great show with lots of great Texas singer/songwriters. I think he did about 4-5 songs.

    Sounds good. Glad to see Ashley Jensen in it also. She was great in his Extras series.

    I still remember the night in 1981 when Charlie Rocket said fuck in the closing moments when the cast was assembled to say goodnight. He was, of course, canned and disappeared from tv for a while.

    Thanks! Also going in March. Will try to work this in.

    Can you order that by name at most WBs, or do you have to ask for a number one with chicken patty and fried egg?

    I'm a big Paul Siebel fan. Also good openings by Paul: I met her at a dance, I thought I'd take a chanceSo I held her tight when I heard those fiddles playSo now I'll tell the news: she made me lose my bluesJust one little kiss and I threw them all awayI got a love so true and nothing you could do could change meI'm gonna let it shine ... like a blinding lightBut I'll be back for more, I'll be a-tapping at her doorAnd we'll climb the hill when the whippoorwills sing tonight and If you don't love her, better let her go You'll never fool her, you're bound to let it show Love's so hard to take when you have to fake Everything in return You just preserve her when you serve her A little tenderness.

    So I'll make my stand And remain as I am, And bid farewell and not give a damn. We're idiots, babe - It's a wonder we can even feed ourselves. The crowd began to cheer. He flew away. Oh my Grace, I've got no hiding place.

    Arrested cop has a busted up face in mug shot. I heard he banged his head on a patrol car. WTF? Everything about this story is fishy.

    I wonder if they even bothered to clean it first. First, grease and flour your pan.
