brandtb Addict Registered: 11/26/04 Posts: 524 Loc: S.E. Pennsylvania	A friend of mine lives in North West Nebraska. She emailed me today with word that they are expecting 10 - 12 inches of snow and temps of -25F. It reminded me of this poem that I listened to 50 years ago on Jean Shepherd's radio show from WOR New York lying in bed with my transistor radio when I was supposed to be asleep. I took a contract to bury the body of blasphemous Bill MacKie, Whenever, wherever or whatsoever the manner of death he die — . . . . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xykolaZAAM _________________________ Univ of Saigon 68

UncleGoo Enthusiast Registered: 12/06/06 Posts: 392 Loc: CT	Robert Service and Jean Shepherd, two favorites. I used to listen the same way, to him and to CBS Radio Mystery Theatre. The Cremation of Sam McGee has always been one of my favorite poems: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeTlcs38MOU _________________________ Improvise, Utilize, Realize.
