Book Description
Bobs loyalty to the Troops was at the highest level. He went where the Troops were and if there was a war going on, Bob became more determined to see us. Bob was like one of us. He was breathing the same air that we were breathing and that mattered. Bob made the Troops the stars, the audience was the Show. Bobs U.S.O. Christmas Shows with the Troops had meaning and is now History. The spirit and the memories of it all should live forever! I wrote about my particular set of circumstances: leading up to the Show, at the Show and then after the Show. THIS BOOK IS DEDICATED TO ALL THE TROOPS! PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE. I have been watching The Bob Hope United Service Organizations (U.S.O.) Christmas Shows with the Troops with my family, since I was about 4 years old. I enjoyed watching the Troops in the audience laughing, having a good time, getting together. The Troops were my Heroes, my Stars. I thought that maybe when I grew up; that one day, I would be in the audience of one of Bobs Christmas Shows. It was inspirational for me to see and hear the people singing Silent Night together at the end of the Show. The Memories Are Priceless! Like we still talk about Remember The Alamo, I think we should say, Remember The Bob Hope Christmas Show, because it was important. It brought us together! I thank my Lord, Jesus Christ, for helping me get to The Bob Hope Christmas Show and in writing this book. At The Bob Hope Christmas Show: the sights, the sounds, living through the moment of it all was the best. Bob, Thanks For The Memories!

He has made a tremendous contribution to the preservation of great music and continues to create fresh and essential sounds for our time. Bravo, Nick!” – Michael Feinstein “SOMETIMES WHEN I’m listening to a Perry Como recording and I hear Nick Perito playing so beautifully behind him, it brings me to a sweeter time in my life. All those great songs and arrangements. Recently I had the good fortune to have Nick as my conductor and what a treat. I almost stopped the show just to watch him play. What a life he has led!

Mountain Brew: A High-Spirited Guide to Country-Style Beer Making
Author: Tim Matson
Publisher: The Countryman Press
ISBN: 1581575904
Category : Cooking
Languages : en
Pages : 103
Book Description
The 1970s classic that sparked the homebrewing revolution in Vermont Long before Heady Topper or Hill Farmstead, Vermont was already at the forefront of the American beer revolution. In the 1970s, the big-name brews like Bud and Coors ruled the roost, and homebrewed beer was still as illegal as moonshine. But a small group of Vermonters—people like Tim Matson and Lee Anne Dorr—weren't the kind to let a little thing like the law stop them from enjoying their own brews. They shared their concoctions with friends and family and then went a step farther: publishing the first homebrewer's guide since Prohibition and selling it out of the back of their truck. Now, forty years later, that groundbreaking book is back. Featuring a brand-new introduction, Mountain Brew shows you how to produce homemade malt, grow your own hops, and keep away thirsty neighbors who want to steal your hooch. Through recipes and colorful stories from their day, let these Green Mountain boys (and girls) show you how to make better beer than you'd ever find at the local watering hole.
