I agree with Mr. Busse's comments except perhaps for this one. I have attended a number of Eastrail shows and enjoyed them very much. Some of the presentations stick out in my mind because of the good use of "popular" music. For example Steve Barry used "Electric Ave" by Eddie Grant(?) on a sequence of shots of the Northeast Corridor. Another presenter used the country song "Drive South" as a theme for his show on Southeeastern railroading. Now whenever I hear either song I am fondly reminded of those presentations. However< i would agree that this does have to be done carefully. Jim Dent --> SPORRS: Serious Photographers of Railroad Related Subjects X-Mozilla-Status: 0011 Content-Length: 4265
