Tonight's western is No Name On The Bullet [1959]

"When hired killer John Gant rides into Lordsburg, the town's folk become paranoid as each leading citizen has enemies capable of using the services of a professional killer for personal revenge."

Tonight's western is 20 Mule Team [1940] with Wallace Beery, his nephew Noah Beery, Anne Baxter, and the ever-spry Clem Bevans as Chuckawalla. I've seen this one plenty of times, but it never fails to amuse.

I don't like to brag but I have also customized my Anker brand Bluetooth speaker thingy. #oldtimey

The Duel At Silver Creek [1952] still playing on my tablet which is sitting atop my Anker brand Bluetooth speaker.  Someone (me) had used a marker to put the letter W in front of the word Anker on the front of the speaker.

@LaD_Hallo got me thinking (from a different angle) about my collection of westerns. So tonight I'm watching The Duel At Silver Creek [1952] with Audie Murphy, Susan Cabot, Faith Domergue, Stephen McNally, and Eugene Iglesias. There's even a couple of scenes with Lee Marvin. #western #oldtimey

I'm watching Cathode Ray Dude's newest video this morning and noticed that the laserdisc movie he was packing up was High Sierra [1941]. Very classy. :blobcatthumbsup:

While writing Bandcamp notes for album 11 "The Serfville Monad and the Pluperfect People," I gave a listen to the beautiful old-timey “Hard Times Come Again No More”. Performed by the “Anonymous 4” and Bruce Molsky. It's from the album “1865: Songs of Hope and Home from the American Civil War (Bonus Track Version)”

These names are from a custom list on Ancestry (old musicians who lived and died in NY 1890s-1945) so no screenshots but I keep coming across some more excellent old timey names today: Gauthier Di Cube, Severin Eisenberger (!), Lorenz Scuffert, Sigismund Lazar .. so good

There's a new general store that has a bunch of cool stuff like slingshots, rubber band guns, old candies, different sodas. This one stood out 😨

Here are another couple of pages from the Harmsworth Self-Educator books. I offer you "How to Travel Abroad" and "The Making of a Skirt".

The whole thing reads like an old-fashioned paper version of the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.

#encyclopaedia #books #OldTimey

A photo of a two-page spread from The Harmsworth Self-Educator, titled "How to Travel Abroad". The first paragraph starts with "Far more people are possessed of the travel temperament than are conscious the fact. Multitudes are naturally endowed with fine perceptive capacities, but have never given their faculties a chance of development."A photo of a two-page spread from The Harmsworth Self-Educator, titled "The Making of a Skirt". There are diagrams for such things as the "Placket-hole" and "Placket-hole fastenings", the "Facing for Foot part of skirt", and "Some popular skirts".
