Jack!! That was brilliant. I was spellbound!! What a great show that was!! You and Mary made a great team!! It was a fabulous production. The choice of musical background added so much to the atmosphere. Great work!!
Nicholas was a fan of Ambrose Bierce and we have several books around here by him. I think it is time that I opened some of them!!!!
Thanks!!!!
Thanks a lot, Marilyn. Very glad you liked it. We worked very hard on it, and I was happy with the way it turned out.
Bierce was a fascinating character. He disappeared in Mexico at the age of 71, reportedly on his way to join Pancho Villa’s army.
