Sad to see more and more people that I grew up with (watching them on TV, anyway) passing to the Great Beyond...

Jeez, yesterday, a long time trombone player for The American Band died of a massive heart attack yesterday.

Darren McGavin will always be the one and only Carl Kolchak. That was one of those times when the actor fit the role like a glove.

Sci-Fi just ran some episodes a week or two ago, but I hope they run them again in honor of this great actor.

And of course he was Ralphie's dad in A Christmas Story... "'Frah-gee-lay'... must be Italian." Classic.
