I’VE SEEN ALL THE JOHN WAYNE WESTERNS FROM THE MID 40′S ON, BUT “THE ALAMO”

WAS THE FIRST ONE THAT MADE AN IMPACT ON ME!  I WAS 9 AND WIDE EYED WATCHING IT

ON THE BIG SCREEN AT THE RITZ THEATRE IN MUSKOGEE. THE SEARCHERS IS STILL MY FAVORITE BUT

THE ALAMO IS IN MY TOP 5!   HERE ARE SOME OF HIS BEST SPEECHES FROM “THE ALAMO”.

*******

COULD THE DIAMONDBACKS HAVE STUNK UP CHASE FIELD ANY MORE THAN THEY DID YESTERDAY?

 I’M HOPING NOT!  IF YESTERDAYS BLOWN 6 RUN LEAD WASN’T THE

LOW SPOT FOR THE TEAM, I’M SWITCHING TO THE DODGERS (THE BROOKLYN DODGERS!)

THERE’S NO SENSE OF URGENCY WITH THIS TEAM - I ALWAYS SEEM TO HEAR “WE’VE GOTTA PUT THIS BEHIND US

AND MOVE ON TO THE NEXT GAME.”  HOW ABOUT PLAYING LIKE IT’S THE “LAST GAME”!  DON’T LOOK NOW BUT

THE SEASON IS QUICKLY SLIPPING BY!!!!

OBVIOUSLY BOB MELVIN WASN’T THE PROBLEM.

*******

GLAD TO BE BACK PLAYING THE VALLEY’S GREATEST HITS FOR YOU - WHEREVER AND HOWEVER YOU’RE LISTENING,

I APPRECIATE IT!

TO ALL THE TRUE HEROS PAST PRESENT AND FUTURE, GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE OUR LOVE AND SUPPORT - ALWAYS!
