It's about to take another twist ...Originally Posted by BlueAdder
This has come a long way from me telling Corky he had missed putting in a score.
Jack Elam - my favourite baddy when I were a nipper. No surprise that imitation Swifty LdB was likened to him and not All-Amrican hero Chuck Connors. The real-life similarities are inescapable.

Greetings Jack.

In a gruff, deep voice "Morning Jack", The soft, quaint reply was "Morning Jenny".

My favourite Western as a nipper was The Man from Laramie, Jimmy Stewart. Theatre Royal, Ryde 1956. I even got the hat.

You weren't very old then.

But he's very old now.

The man from Laramie
He was a man with a warm and gentle heart
But when they'd start the arguing and fightin'
Frightenin' and lightning fast was he
There was no coyote who could outshoot
The man from Laramie
He had a flair for ladies
Now the ladies loved his air of mystery
Brilliant stuff. RiP Jimmies Stewart and Young.

Also saw the said film at Theatre Royal Ryde.... got taken as a birthday treat for Roger Gamble's birthday . Great song too... no hat though.
NB.... Odd how a thread entitled FAO Corky is one of the most posted upon in recent weeks !!!! This social media thing has no privacy .

Remember seeing Trouble in Store, starring Norman Wisdom, in what was then the Cirencester flick house in 1953. Looking forward to a Ryde lunch time drink later this year. I'll tell you more Corky when you put the kettle on in July.
