PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

In highschool I had access to: In highschool I had access to a Scofield and another called Berkely all the while having my first go at the Living paraphrase. The Scofield had a padded bounding and was quite hefty in the hands and had a very engaging manner to read. Later on I got wind of complaints toward the Scofield which I now don't quite recall.

Thank you so much for this: Thank you so much for this comment, too.  I must confess that I did not always put my recorder to good use.  And I had plenty of bootleg music on it, as well as the audio tracks of many science fiction and ghost stories.  The casette with the Night Gallery episode on it eventually failed and got tantled up in the gears of the recorder---most of my casettes, for that year, met that same problem.  I finally had to ask for a better one from my parents, then wait until Christmas, and then have fewer Christmas gifts under the tree.  By that time, Night Gallery was not being syndicated in our area, and I had to wait for over a decade to hear that great monologue again.  Serling passed away a couple of years later (Colicos left us in 2000); but they, and the Titanic, had touched my life permanently. Thanks again for the second comment.
