-I will mail you free poetry cds of Vincent Price and Alex
Scourby reading poems like Paul Revere's Ride, The Highwayman,
If, Gunga Din, Chicago, In Flanders Fields, Thanksgiving Day,
Jesse James, Casey At The Bat, America For Me and many more
plus a Cd of Kipling and a cd of Robert Service poetry. If you
want to know about Robert Service punch in on Google Blasphomus
Bill and read what the poem says. When Regan was President he
told the press that Robert Service was his favorite poet and
his guest, Queen Elizabeth II, spoke up and said that Service
was her favorite also. Robert Service was born in England,
raised in Scotland and moved to Canada at around age twenty.
(poet of 1897 Yukon gold rush) Rudyard Kipling wrote about the
British soldier fighting for the Queen all over the world.
You will need a cd player. I will mail you cds free the minute
I get an address. At 78 I will not be useing them again. I
will also pay the postage. Marshall Raftery
