I well remember the TV broadcasts over Christmas 1968. We did not own a TV at that time but back then grandmother & 2 aunts used to come on Christmas Eve to stay in our house for a few days & they would bring their (monochrome) TV with them.

Re: Obituaries
German television will probably air that movie this week to honour her. Also, great music from Ennio Morricone. Recently, they showed plenty of Robert Redford movies.

Re: Obituaries
John Lodge (Bass guitarist of The Moody Blues), aged 82. Was happily married 57 years which is good going in that environment.
The first 2 albums I ever bought were On the Threshold of a Dream & To Our Children's Children's Children (the mad music teacher at senior school kept playing these).

Re: Obituaries
I am 6 or 7 years behind you in age I believe, and bought those albums across the pond 4 or 5 years after you. I was hooked on the MB. Incredibly beautiful music that somehow gave me hope I was gonna make it through those awkward teenage years.
