my fav folk artist, same nearly the same age as me and we sort of went through the stages of life in parallel. Amazing writer ...he was called "the folksingers folksinger".

Amazon gave me three free months of unlimited and using them to access his albums....for reasons unknown Alexa cannot connect with him when I ask but I can get the music in the app. \ :banghead:

It's terrific, raunchy, rowdy and exciting based on the actual story written by a family member with some dramatic extras. The music is terrific as is the pacing ....no waiting on additional episodes.....excellent binge.

Odd to see Geoffrey from GofT in a different role.

Seems no slowing the company down

I'm not certain I've seen this but worth watching again given the cast


re-watched Dunkirk. Did not realize Tom Hardy's role

Hard not to get misty eyed when those small boats show up. :tup:

Good news this ...if you haven't seen the first two seasons you are missing out on a terrific series.....and based in really truly unbelievable facts, and it's funny :clap:

•••••

Watching Dunkirk the movie and then WWII in Colour Dunkirk is a terrific double header.
Colour brings the war far more alive and immediacy to the screen.

Try this one again. Filming is very dark - better with vivid setting on. I did not pay attention on the first go around and lost the thread.
Very 'Stralian.
