A NOTE FROM BIG CHUCK:  You know, the other day I had to go and pick up a bunch of teenagers from a dance.  The noise was deafening, the dance floor was filled with wildly gyrating young people in various forms of dress (and undress), kids had tatoos all over, everybody was texting everybody else, every cel phone was on.  It was a real eye opener.  But then I remember, that even us "old timers" used to have wild dances too!  Loud music..YES!  Crazy outfits...YES!  Wildly gyrating dances...YES!  Yup, I remember some wild and uncontrolled excitement at some fo the dances of MY youth.  In fact I came across an actual photo of one of these shindigs from the early 1960s in Sidney at the church basement.  Now, look at this photo and tell me that we couldnt be WILD and CRAZY at the dances of our youth too!  Look how much fun we were having here.......

 

CAN'T YOU JUST FEEL THE EXCITEMENT?

BIG CHUCK'S BOOB TUBE MEMORIES!

 

 

 

In talking with Brett the other day, I mentioned the Hollywood Palace show.  He had never heard of it.  Those of us "a little older" will remember it as a great variety show that ran on ABC-TV from 1964 to 1970.  It seems that everybody was on that show, and all the major stars hosted it at one time or another.  Here is a remarakbale film clip.  The incredible, fantastic (and always unpredictable) Judy Garland is the guest host of this clip. WATCH ALL THE WAY THROUGH and you will see the magic of television!  This clip is spliced together with RARE clips of Judy singing the song in rehearsal!  Oh what a little make-up, hair styling and a beautiful dress will do.  The comparison is startling!  This is a great memory from THE HOLLYWOOD PALACE!  And you'll be shocked when you see Judy rehearsing this song in the afternoon of the show's airing!  Enjoy

DID YOU WORK HERE??

 

SCINTILLA in SIDNEY!

 

As everyone knows, I am from Sidney.  Even after having lived in Oneonta for thirty years, I still run into people ALL OVER THE PLACE who used to work at Scintilla (or Bendix, Allied or Amphenol) in Sidney.  And they just didnt work there, they STAYED THERE!  Talk about company loyalty!  So News Director Brett Moore and I thought it would be fun to see if we could get people to email us if they worked there for a very long time!  We will start at thirty years or longer (nothing earlier) and see what kind of "Loyalty List" we can come up with. Just email Big Chuck now and let him know how long you (or a living family member) worked at "the plant" in Sidney and lets see what we can come up with!  Anybody out there who workd at Bendix for 35 years? 40?  Just let me know your name, hometown and maybe your Department number and then Brett and I will print the list here in 2 weeks.  I think it will be a fun and interesting list!  So let us hear from all you Scintilla/Bendix/Allied people now!

A BIG CHUCK GREEN TOAD BOOK REVIEW

 

WAR by Sebastian Junger

 

 


+++++++++++++++++++

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

 

WAR by Sebastian Junger follows in the footsteps of his besteller The Perfect Storm.  Like Storm, this book is breathless, gritty, impossibly tense, inspirational and heartbreaking all at the same time.  Writer Junger got himself embedded with a group of young soldiers at a dreary, Mad Max-like remote outpost in Afghanistan.  From their airie in the high mountains these American soldiers are witness to some of the most brutal and incessant combat of the now nearly ten-year long war.  Junger writes with obvious affection for these soldiers with whom he was welded together with for fourteen months  The battle descriptions are enough to become a game-changer (I believe) for many unsure about their position on our combat mission in Afghanistan and Iraq.  You cannot help but feel "embedded" yourself while reading this book from the comfort of your easy chair.  With each combat fatality (and there are many) you feel saddened and grief-stricken over the death of somebody you came to know.  It is a page-turner and a head scratcher all at once.  When this war ever ends and people look back at the great book written about it, Jungers' combat diary may just be the one.  This is a difficult but a great read. 

Call Michele at The Green Toad Book Store on Main Street in Oneonta at

433-8898 and she can order WAR by Sebastian Junger for you ASAP.

BIG CHUCK'S TOP 25 MOVIES OF ALL TIME!

In the more than 20 years that I have been on the air at WDOS in Oneonta, one of the most repeated questions to me, both privately and on the air, is "What is your favorite movie, Big Chuck?"  Well, I thought after all these years it would be a great time to go ahead and tell you my Top 25 movies of all time (one man's opinion, of course!).  And I will try and count them down, one a week all the way to my top movie (you longtime listeners will already know my favorite film!).  And so in this day of NetFlix, Pay Per View, movies on demand and cable shows, go ahead and order up my favorite movies, give them a looksee for yourself, and let me know what you think.  Your emails about my movie choices are greatly appreciated, and you may even see them here on the website!  Movies already "inducted" include  #25 ("American Graffitti", 1973), #24 ("Planet of the Apes," 1968), #23 ("White Heat," 1949), #22 ("Grapes of Wrath," 1940), #21 ("The Umbrellas of Cherbourg"), #20 ("Its a Mad, Mad, Mad, World," 1963),  #19 ("The Dirty Dozen," 1967), #18 ("Poseidon Adventure" 1972), #17 ("An Affair To Remember" 1957), #16 ("Braveheart," 1995), #15 ("Patch of Blue," 1965), #14 ("Bonnie and Clyde" 1967), #13 ("Lawrence of Arabia", 1962), #12 ("The Great Escape" 1963"), #11 ("Young Frankenstein", 1974), #10 ("The Alamo", 1960)....  So, lights down, popcorn in hand and here we go again with....

#9

 

"WAIT UNTIL DARK (1967)"

 

 

One of the most tense, taut and incredibly suspenseful movies ever made.  Audrey Hepburn is blind, Efrem Zimbalist is her loving (yet cold) husband, Richard Crenna is the lead bad guy and Alan Arkin is one of the creepiest, scariest characters that have come along in a long time.  Clever in its use of "signals" with the little girl upstairs!  Where are the drugs?  Where? Stay with this movie until the end (the famous "refrigerator" scene) and you will be treated to a genuine jump-from-your-seat scene that will leave you trembling.  One of Hepburn's best roles.  She was nominated for a Best Actress Oscar for this movie.  AFI has called the final scene of WAIT UNTIL DARK one of the Top Ten Scariest Movie climaxes ever!  Even the preview of the movie (seen below) is enough to make you reach for Mommy's hand!  WOW..not for the faint of heart. 

BUT CERTAINLY WORTHY OF MY TOP TEN MOVIES OF ALL TIME!

 

WAIT UNTIL DARK

 

 

Remember: A viewing tip is to let the entire clip run through first and then watch it.  This will eliminate any "stops and starts")
