Bob, Bob, Bob. Have you been to a nickelodeon in the past, oh, eighty years?
The motion pictures are in color now, and the music and the actor's words are
actually heard at the same time.

My DVD collection is totally of the great silent days.
Talkies and color are for you young chatty whippersnappers.
Distracts from the plot, ya know!

If you HAD...then you'd know that the music I used on that clip came from an
*airplane* film. It's tied to a scene where a Curtis P-40 Tomahawk...mind you,
a REAL P-40, not a model, not a cartoon, and not even computer-generated the way
the kids get so excited about...is slipping to land on a dirt road, and
subsequently taxis up to a gas station.

REALLY?
What movie would that be?

Couldn't be '1941'.
That John Belushi P-40 landed on a paved road and
then taxied to a gas station that was located ON DIRT.
Kinda' like I use to do in my Texass crop dusting days.

If you want to see a Fly Baby video with a nautical soundtrack, this is the one:

...although it should make you want to attack a Spanish galleon,

Hmmm.
Do Spanish galleons hold as much stuff as
Canadian and British Imperial Galleons?

not a hapless cetacean.

You've never actually read "The Old Man And The Sea", have you? Because
besides the Old Man, there was a marlin and sharks, but no whales.

Humongous whales.... HAPPLESS?!?
Tell that to Captain Ahab of Moby-Dick fame.

DVDs? That's at least two or three generations of technology too recent
for you, Unk.

Not a problem, Rich.
The kids and grand kids gladly handle these chores for me.

P.S.
No way will I let them near my Victrola/Gramaphone collection.

I think I am starting to get an insight, as to why you are so opposed to new
things, like auto engines in airplanes.

The way I see it, you are so stuck in the past with old technology, that you
think recordings should be on a cylinder, instead of a disk. (of some type)
g

Wow.

Thanks for helping me clear this up, just a little. {;-)
