they should have filled the trenches with water. Naw, it wouldn't stop the Militares or even slow them down. All it would have accomplished would have been a lot of mud getting tracked in making a mess. I guess, the more mannerly could have stopped first to wipe their feet, but...

Here's an example of what I mean. Other than the hair, this portrait doesn't compare to the Chapmans -

PENCIL SKETCH OF CROCKETT FROM THE GOLDEN BOOK HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES.Did Crockett sit for this? There are a couple of other sketches supposedly from life of Crockett while he was in D.C., but they do not look like the Chapman portraits. Don't get me wrong, I like the Chapmans, but I'm puzzled by the different interpretations of drwaings or engravings from life. George Washington looks pretty similar despite different artists and different ages. It seems one thing I've noticed is Crockett seemed to gain, or gain and lose weight.

The world's worst singer, I'll alter to the world's worst successful singer. That award goes to Brtney Spears. What a mediocre voice compared to her contemporary, Christina Aguilara.

I have soundtracks to "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" and "Once Upon A Time In the West" on CD.
Eric Kunzel and the Cinninatti Pops Orchestra also recorded some movie themes on two CDs called "Round Up" and "Round Up, (No./Vol) II", which I think are also worthy to collect.

I've found live365 a pretty good Internet radio station to listen to while at work. Of course, I always pick the Highlander Radio station. Right now, I'm listening to "Celtic Music: Angels in the Snow (Christmas)"

\ i have never heard of rock bagpipes. YEP! It falls into the bagpipe music genre of the hornpipe, which is one of several types of upbeat dance music.

I was listening to a new CD I bought from a vendor at the Houston Highland Games & Celtic Festival this past weekend. The CD is called "Mixolydian" by Mark Saul, a rock bagpipe player. Pretty cool.

I was just reading through some old posts on the alamofilm site and found this funny little poem by our own nefarious, written in the christmas of 2003. Just think that it should be on this site for everyone to see. THE TWELVE DAYS OF FILMING ....And some drop fronts, So I couldn't pee. Merry Christmas in August! Hahahaha! Hey, I purchased some fall-front trousers for my portrayal as Piper John McGregor and I think they are more comfortable than fly-fronts!
