Friends, it's Sunday night again and time to relax. Warm up the tubes for another 4 hours of classic radio Americana.

Official OTR blog of "The Big Broadcast" thread:
A night of variety tonight...Halls of Ivy should be interesting...Nick Carter, master detective is on the case...Gina's favorite Sherlock Holmes...and a good last hour of Murder by Experts and getting creepy with Inner Sanctum...
Lot's of football this weekend...what a game last night...

There’s my favorite commenter EVER! :-)
Hey there...lots of football, cigars, rest, and low cal food this weekend...saw 13 Hours...
Gotta admit, I’m listening to Texas Hippie Coalition at the moment, but I’m about done with ‘em for the day..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7v9bKOQ2y3U&list=FLjFhfqgQVbKyfWtIaMwQr0A&index=20
I watched “It Happened To Jane” last night with Doris Day and
Jack Lemmon and I’ve had that stupid “Be Prepared” scout song
in my head all day. While chainsawing and yoiking down trees.
Carry on..
Is “13 Hours” dynamite as they say?
Have you lost some weight with all the dieting?
It’s rare to get a song stuck in your head that you really like. It always seems to be some off the wall song with a strong hook.
I’m dropping some pounds. Here’s thoughts from another thread:
“Good movie. I think it’s missing something to make it as successful as American Sniper. Which may be a strong main character. They don’t really come out and say what the 13 hours is though you’re expected to know it and can get it. And given they were using time before the fighting stated...a running timer when the fighting started would have added clarity. Also, not enough development of the main character. I wondered at times who the main character was even though they did have a central figure.
Wish Republicans weren’t such idiots so the Dems could have been brought to justice. That’s heartbreaking among other things.”
What’s new with you two?
OMG HE LEFT THE DISKS IN THE CAR!
That’s amature. He should have said he was having an equipment problem and put on the song.
Thanks for that, Vision. I don’t know if we’ll see it or not.
Not much new here. Keith is making a giant batch of homemade beer. He’s cooling the mixture down in ice water now, getting ready to transfer it into the five-gallon bucket to ferment. We’re doing that instead of barbecuing. Keith made a big batch of his chili last night, and I baked cornbread, so we’ll have that for dinner.
Looking for the lyrics of that “Be prepared Boy Scout Marching Song” First time I heard that laughed my fanny off.
The “pepto pills”? Yes, that was funny.
No, that he couldn’t start the show...
Oh, shoot! I missed that. What happened?
