Happy Sunday all, hope you had a great Independence Day week...

Last week’s lineup was fantastic, this week looks a little weak...Fred Allen is no Jack Benny...Family Theater is usually good...I’m weak on sci fi...Philip Marlowe is a B show...and can’t remember much of Mr. Keen, Tracer of Lost Persons (but it’s a great name)...

How you doing!?

[WXRGina]

Hi, Vision! We’ve heard Mr. Keen before. I think I remember it being a decent show.

Anything new with you?

[Vision]

Things are good. Was down in the outer banks, nc with family for a few days. A really good time. You do anything for the Fourth?

[ATOMIC_PUNK]

I like OTR Sherlock Holmes with Basil Rathbone and Nigel, Bruce

The saint with Vincent Price

Those old time shows are awesome !

[Vision]

Basil Rathbone’s work is great.

[WXRGina]

We stayed home on the 4th and listened to the war zone sounds in the neighborhood, even though fireworks aren’t supposed to be allowed within the city limits. :-D

[Vision]

Speaking of war sounds...if you want a treat listen to last week's show...Yankee Yarns story of what Independence day used to be and Treasury Star Parade was great.

[WXRGina]

Okay, cool! Thanks, Vision!
