Plus I had the chance to meet up with a friend, Martin Grams, who is a walking encyclopedia of film lore. if you are in the area- and i REALLY appreciate the proximity- i recommend a trip- it ends Saturday.

I had bought a copy years ago that claimed to be in color, but it was washed out and looked like h!. While this print was not in the category of "Down Dakota Way", it was still very nice and helped improve my enjoyment of the film. The DVD of the film looked very nice too. I hope that folks keep digging and find the other "lost" Roger's Trucolors.

Thanks Barcroft

I gave it to Rodney and I believe he's going to have it on his web-site for sale starting early August when his site is updated again. I met Martin also. He does know his stuff. He wrote the liner notes for the VCI GREEN HORNET releases and has a book about THE GREEN HORNET coming out next year. Also met Terry Salomonson at the convention. Also a nice guy. Terry is the man responsible for 90 percent of the old-time radio shows that we hear today. He still has (literally) thousands of transcriptions for radio shows not yet available. He's been selling them to Radio Spirits recently and they've been licensing and commercially releasing lost shows courtesy of Terry. Phil Harris and Alice Faye, The Green Hornet, and others. Sad part is, Terry attends the conventions and most people who listen to radio shows on MP3, downloads or commercial sets have no idea that if it wasn't for him and his friends over the decades, we wouldn't be listening to most of the shows we have today. Terry, Martin, Rodney, Thad and many others In The Balcony attend MANC in Aberdeen so if you are driving distance of that event, I recommend you go. One of the most people friendly and social conventions you'll ever visit. www.MidAtlanticNostalgiaConvention.com
