One of my most cherished Christmas traditions is reading this wonderful book. From 1959, “Christmas with Ed Sullivan” is a collection of Christmas stories and personal memories from people like Bing Crosby, Jack Benny, Lucy and Desi and others. It is delightful. Read about it in my latest blog post.

New up on the website: it all started with Bing Crosby. But what, in popular music, didn’t? By the late 1940’s, R&B groups were having hits with Christmas music and a sub genre was born. Read about what Irving Berlin called a “profane parody”.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year but some people are still not ready to be inundated with Christmas music. Here’s a fresh playlist designed to get you into the proceedings gradually.

November 22 will mark the 56th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The book “Killing Kennedy” by Bill O’Reilly and Martin Dugard does a good job citing the many enemies JFK made while in office but leaves conspiracy theories up to the reader. Read my review of this book, now up on the website.

Now up on the website it's another episode of "UnEarthed". This time, your humble MCMedia archaeologist runs into a fellow explorer. A terrible World War 2 movie leads me to a prolific cowboy actor who made a landmark film in Newfoundland of all places. "The Viking" (1931) is half-a-documentary that has gone down in history as the film on which the most people lost their lives. Follow me....

Kim Novak never looked lovelier. New up on the site is a discussion of her 1960 star turn opposite Kirk Douglas in “Strangers When We Meet”. This is an engaging “soap opera” with a great cast, an excellent location shoot and featuring a house that was built for the film that still stands today.
