Chet Atkins, a great guitarist who couldn't sing worth a lick, brings everyone on stage and the sound tech people to tears with the song JUST CAN'T SAY GOODBYE. This is a fabulous concert by the way, with guests Emmylou Harris, Waylon Jennings, The Everly Brothers, Michael McDonald, Mark Knopfler and Willie Nelson. A treasure.

The song WINGS OF A DREAM. This fine song operates on two levels. It can be talking about both our earthly father and our heavenly father, God. One of Denver's best songs.On my list of Christian Music For Those Who Often Find It Boring.

My all-time favorite movie. Not because I see my own father here particularly, but this film of Tennessee William's masterpiece play is so powerfully written, acted and directed that EVERYONE can relate to it. A moving statement about family, love, honesty, integrity and the importance of memories. On my list of INSPIRATIONAL FILMS. (Warning: Adult content).

William Powell, who was so memorable as detective Nick Charles in the Thin Man series, capped his career with this terrific Oscar-nominated performance. Excellent family movie.

A welcome surprise. Pierce Brosnan stars as a dad trying to regain custody of his kids. Sounds like mundane melodrama, and indeed begins as a small human interest film, but builds to be much more profound. Guess that's why it's on my INSPIRATIONAL FILMS list. Directed by Bruce Beresford.
