Big Blue: And Other Poems About the People and Animals of Alaska: The Last Frontier , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 60min
Anyone who has spent any time in the North Country, either as a visitor or a resident, has probably heard the name Robert Service. This audiobook is more or less an homage to this British Canadian poet and writer, often referred to as “The Bard of the Yukon”. His poignant and frequently humorous poems were mostly written during the great Yukon Gold Rush. But they are still performed to this day at tourist attractions all over Alaska and Northwest Canada. His most famous works (and the ones you will hear recited almost exclusively) are “The Spell of the Yukon”, “The Shooting of Dan McGrew”, and, my favorite, “The Cremation of Sam McGee”.I discovered my talent for writing poetry when I got married and began writing poems to my wife for her birthday, Valentine's Day, and 40 anniversaries. Most of them were fairly short. But then recently, on a whim, I attempted what I call an “epic” story poem. When I started writing, I immediately thought of Robert Service’s style - especially the rhyming scheme he often employs in which he puts a double rhyme within the first and third lines of each stanza. This style is colorfully on display in the opening of “McGee”:"There are strange things done ‘neath the Midnight Sun by the men who moil for gold; The Arctic trails have their secret tails that will make your blood run cold."The Northern Lights have seen queer sights, but the queerest they ever did see; was the night on the ‘marg of Lake LeBarge when I cremated Sam McGee!"The result of the first foray into long-form poetry was “More Than I Could Bear” - a tale of an unlikely relationship formed between a man and an Alaskan brown bear. The next thing I knew, I had written enough poems for a book!I hope you enjoy my poems - at least enough that I will be encouraged to do more! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bill Burrows.

The Jack Benny Program, Collection 2, Hörbuch, Digital, 354min
Jack Benny liked to portray himself as a skinflint but his generosity as a comic allowed other characters to get their fair share of laughs...usually at his expense. Benny got more laughs playing the straight man and didn’t care if he was the butt of the jokes. With his brilliant timing, smooth delivery, and trademark mannerisms, Benny was a huge influence on the development of the radio sitcom. References to Benny’s reputed stinginess, vanity, and infirmities were expected and weekly running gags established the program’s memorable characters. Benny’s real wife, Mary, was his sarcastic female friend; Phil Harris, the brash bandleader, Dennis Day the eager juvenile, Rochester the lovable butler and Don Wilson, the overweight announcer. Jack got his big break as a guest on The Ed Sullivan Radio Show in 1932 and was soon signed to his own show. Highlights included the long-running feud with fellow comedian Fred Allen, gags featuring a pet polar bear, and material about Jack’s run-down Maxwell jalopy. He insisted he was never older than 39, was a skinflint, and had difficulty playing “Love in Bloom” on his violin. A regular performer for more than two decades on radio, Jack made a seamless transition to television. 5/29/49 “Guest: Margaret Whiting” 9/25/49 “Guests: Edgar Bergan, Red Skelton and Amos N’ Andy” 3/12/50 “Jack wins the Sagebrush Soap Contest” 3/19/50 ”Cast Does a Sketch on ‘The Champion’” 5/14/50 “Guests: Frankie Fontaine and Vivian Blaine” 5/27/51 “Jack Goes to the Doctor and Cast Unhappy with Contracts” 4/26/53 “Guest: Fred Allen and Memories about Vaudeville” 11/15/53 “The Cast is Rehearsing for Jack’s TV show” 1/24/54 “The Cast Presents ‘The Shooting of Dan McGrew’” 6/6/54 “The Last Show of the Season and Jack is off to Dallas” 3/6/55 “Guest: Danny Kaye and Warner Brothers plans ‘The Jack Benny Story’” 4/24/55 “Jack Rents His Maxwell to 20th Century Fox to Us Language: English.
