Hey friends,
Has anyone ever thought of publishing a "trained noticers guide to the
episodes"? Maybe by Season ... interesting things to look for in each
episode. :-) I, for one would love something like that. I was watching
the "Frankie Flint" episode this morning, and I know there was
something interesting to look for in there, that someone had mentioned
here on the digest, but I couldn't remember what it was.
In deep admiration of each "trained noticer" out there, from someone
who is definitely not "ept" in that area!
Mary

>>>>Does anyone know if anyone sang "The Lonesome Road" as well as Rafe
Hollister and if so, who was the artist and what album. I would love to
purchase that song.
Was there any possible connection between that song (which I really love
and especially how Rafe gives it to the mayor and Mrs. Jeffries) and
"Face in the Crowd"?
