Tor Johnson interviewed by Groucho Marx (1950's)

This is Tor Johnson interviewed by Groucho Marx on Groucho's television show "You Bet your Life". I'm not sure of the date on this. Both of the gentlemen are heroes to me.

"FATHER DIED THIS MORNING" Aug 24, 1928

I found this Western Union Telegram envelope today at my Grandmother's house in the desert. This letter is from my Great Uncle Emmet, who lived in Detroit, to my Great Grandfather, living in Los Angeles, telling him of my Great Great Grand Father's death. I think that Western Union charged by the word. That might be why the message is so brief and to the point. It could also be that there is not much else to say between two brothers when it comes to their father's death. 1145 Arizona Ave is right off Olyimpic just east of the 710 and 5 freeway intersection.

Zontar: The Thing from Venus "Surreal" Short Film (1966/2006)

This is a surreal short film made out of a classic scene from "Zontar: The Thing from Venus" (1966) which is actually a remake of other classic science fiction/horror movie "It Conquered the World" (1956). Zontar stars John Agar and was directed by Larry Buchanan.

ELVIRA - Coors Light commercial (19??)

I think this is from the late 1980's... it might be the early 90's. I used to have that stand-up display that at the end of the commercial. A friend of mine worked at Coors and got it for me. Now I can't remember if I sold it or lost it in a move.

I've been real busy with a bunch of personal stuff (nothing bad, all good) and I haven't had the time to dedicate to this blog like I used to. Hopefully that will all change, so keep coming back and check out The Butcher's Floor too. That's my other blog with more Western/Country/History/Outdoorsy stuff.
Thanks, HG

Jimmie & Leon Short - "Old Indians Never Die" (1947)

Some good ol' Delmore Bros.-type harmonizin' from the 1947 feature Hollywood Barn Dance. Yes, that's Ernest Tubb intro-ing the Shorts...

I ripped this off PappyStuckey's Youtube page. This guy manages to find the cool/rare C&W and Jazz clips. Amazing stuff.
