I can't help you with posting them. If they were already posted on the web somewhere, I could transfer them here. However, I still don't know how to upload pix. Someday, I will learn. If you would like, freepmail me and I can find a picture of one of favorite your things or something that makes you proud to be an American.

This is a wonderful thread. Thank you.

Two additional things that are "audio" things we fight for.

I'll never forget seeing a short clip of a Bob Hope radio broadcast during WWII.
He was broadcasting some "favorite sounds" to our troops in the field at the time.
The first one was the sound of a steak hitting a hot frying pan. I imagine that quite a
few soldiers, sailors, marines, aviators, and guardsmen had an imaginary steak that evening!
The second one almost suprised me...especially given 1940s standards of modesty.
Hope had some starlet babe give one of the longest, deepest, amorous female "sighs" probably
ever recorded. I was suprised, but realized that it's true "the fundamental things
apply as time goes by".
I doubt that anything as sensual ever made its way onto a recording even during the
era of "sex, drug and rock'n-roll"!
It came as no shock to see a beautiful woman in a bathing suit at the top of this thread!
