Hello!

Wow, a stack of fast links today. Advisor Gary Teetzel starts things by pointing us to an Ennio Morricone soundtrack, of which we were totally unaware.

In 1961 he created the score for an Italian radio adaptation of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea

… and we can listen to clips online.

 

Ennio Morricone – Ventimila leghe sotto i mari    Cue 1
 

Plus:
Ventimiglia Cue 2
Ventimiglia Cue 3
Plus The Actual Radio Show as released on record, or at least a portion of it:
Ventimiglia Radio Cue 1
Ventimiglia Radio Cue 2

 


 

 

The indispensible Michael McQuarrie sends along an interview we found fascinating … from 2023, it’s Kliph Nesteroff’s interview with actress Peggy Webber. It’s the sixth part (!) having to do mostly with her radio career … she quickly dismisses her starring film roles in horror pictures, mainly  The Screaming Skull.

The detail about 1940s radio is fascinating, she even has some weird info about Orson Welles.

Those that care will waste no time checking it out … some of these ‘minor’ personalities lived pretty impressive lives.

 

Interview with Peggy Webber,  Part 6.
 


 

Wanna debate the ins and outs of Time Travel, both in scientific theory and in fiction?  David J. Schow circulated this dandy article just for that argument intellectual discussion.

It’s from 1440 dot Com, and it’s a long list of intriguing ideas, like the ‘grandfather paradox.’   Most entries link to afurther discussions (although the one I most wanted to read was behind a firewall).

So before you blow a wad of cash on your own Delorean, take a look:
