    @Custard I know, how can he only be in CA for so short a time! I need to buy the DVD so I can see him in slow motion :) :)

    Isn't it great! Love the old newsreels and photos on EFG.

    Thanks for the acorntv heads-up! I wonder if they'll get the whole british television catalogue on there at some point. If so, I'd be willing to sign-up. Have you signed-up for the free trial?

    And also, thanks about the news about Patsy Cline. I used to love her!! I can't believe she was only 30 when she died. I didn't realize that. How young!

    @calexora I haven't signed up yet for the free trial with Acorn TV, thinking about it still. Same for me, if they have programs that haven't been shown in the US, or ones that likely won't be, I think I might be willing to sign up. If it's she same Acorn group, they used to have a catalog of UK shows and documentaries for many years.

    Yes, so young Patsy Cline, she had a wonderful voice :)
