My favorite song on the CD was “Birdhouse […]

Oscar-winner Jane Wyman dies at 93…
Monday, September 10th, 2007Way back in 1981 when I was thirteen years-old I started watching “Falcon Crest” on CBS. There I was every Friday night at 10:00 pm camped out in front of the television to watch Jane Wyman as Angela Channing.

Where are the truly funny people now? Not […]
