And also I would have liked to meet with your father, he must have been such a wise man..and the best of all ..his son inherited that! It is called the Heartland Series, hosted by Bill Landry. I did a bit of googling and did not find any clips on line. Here is a quick sketch about Dad from the book Bill wrote about doing the series: "[He] was an expert in the broad field of geology. He always smoked a pipe. No matter what we were talking about or where we were, when it was time to shoot, he'd just put that pipe in his pocket. Oftentimes, we'd smell smoke and cloth burning, and we'd see where his pipe had burned a hole in his pants or singed his shirt below his belt or worse. He didn't care. What a cool dude [he] was. We loved him. "Whatever he said, you could take to the bank. I never remember him doing a second take unless, of course, I screwed up. He was great on cameral. Not just good, I mean great- Richard Attenborough great!" He was my dad, so of course I think highly of him. But to see someone else write those words... -------------------- The dreams down here aren't broken, nah, they're walkin' with a limp...

We always seem to have a biased opinion about our parents. It's nice when people share the positive ones

Just as Ms mALX says. Bill hosted the program for 25 years. Some of my favorites were the April Fool's shows- they also had some with audio of Wiley Oakley (whose grand-daughter I dated way back about 35 years ago). Wiley was a master story-teller and from one of the original Gatlinburg families.

Oh, I'm terribly sorry Ser Trey, I'm afraid I'm a bit crazy from the heat here (really) and misread all that.
 I will however refine a search for it when I'm more mentally apt, this friendly forum assassin knows of other methods.  |

They have bumped official 4th of July celebrations to July 13th in cities all across Tennessee due to the storms slated to come through here today and tomorrow. I've been listening to the storm approaching my area by the distant thunder. The storm can't be moving very fast, or maybe this sedate storm is being pushed in by faster moving storms behind it. Either way, the thunder is getting too close for comfort, so I'll probably be unplugging my PC soon to keep from having the same thing happen this week that did last week (when the surge protector smoked and burned). I'll be on and off with these storms, may get behind on reading and answering PM's - sorry in advance, and you all know I'll catch up asap when they pass and I get my PC back up. -------------------- |

Here's a little fact.
The US didn't get their independence on July 4th they got it onJuly 2nd. Washington(I think) said in a letter that July 2nd will be a day that'll be never forgotten as a monumental day in American history. |

Well, I don't know about New World Orders or Orwellian Societies, but Mother Nature has effectively put the kabosh on our 4th of July festivities today. 100% chance of rain and thunderstorms...all...day...long...
No beach...no fireworks...nothing to do but sit around and drink beer all day  Happy Independence Day everyone!  -------------------- A Question of Fate is my Skyrim Fic
