Book Description

Short stories and long adventures starring Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse, Goofy, Pluto and other Disney characters. In Carl Barks' feature-length classic "Terror of the River," Donald and the boys buy a houseboat and venture down the Ohio River... only to run into trouble with the diabolical "Scarer" and his giant mechanical sea serpent. "Goofy Gives His All" when he joins the Global Helping Hands, an aid corps out to rebuild a storm-wracked island nation. Alas, what Goofy thinks is his destination is really a vacation campground. Pluto and Grandma Duck star in "The Not-So-Still Life," in which the serenity of Grandma's farm is disrupted by a traveling artist! "Pop's Duck Hunt" stars the Big Bad Wolf, out to bag himself some delicious mallards but invariably collecting only bumps and bruises. The legendary 1965 adventure "Fall Guy" makes its first North American appearance here! It tells of Fethry Duck's tireless efforts to go over Niagara Falls, and Donald's tireless efforts to stop him. Somehow Donald always ends up going over the falls instead... Finally the feature-length "Sandgate" takes Mickey and Goofy out to sand dune country, where they travel under the surface of the earth to meet a mysterious realm of sand beings!

A Truly Wonderful Book about Two Truly Wonderful People.......2006-06-11

who enriched our lives over five decades.

Cheryl Rogers Barnett has truly written a memoir full of Love, Respect, and Admiration for her late parents, Roy Rogers and Dale Evans. She writes of the people they were, before she was born, the circumstances of her adoption - yes, Cheryl was adopted by Roy and his first wife - and growing up in the Rogers-Evans* (Roy's first wife died while Cheryl was still a young pre-adolescent child, Dale lovingly took her on as her own) household. Roy, bless his soul, was in many ways, a real cowboy who eschewed the Hollywood lifestyle and could live in the great outdoors - in fact one of their early homes out at Lake Hughes was in a wooded setting - with rattlesnakes! Knowing that this wouldn't work, Roy moved in closer to Los Angeles, but always made sure that his children were grounded and did not have airs about them.

Barnett writes about her growing-up in the Rogers-Evans household, and in reading it one kind of wishes that too were put of a family that truly lived by the Cowboy Code. Roy and Dale were among the kindest folks one could ever meet, and I sure wish I did. Both Roy and Dale were unfailing kind and considerate to most people they met. It speaks volumes that in the one instance Roy ever got angry at fans was when they chose to want to visit him on the day they were burying Cheryl's little sister, Robin, and only AFTER these uncouth and rude people insisted in visiting him, having no consideration for the grief of the family.

She writes of the wonder horse Trigger, of how George "Gabby" Hayes was as different in real life as he was in the movies. Gabby, bless him, was a trained Shakespearian actor who was more accustomed to wearing tweed suits than a bandana and chaps - still, he too made the roles his very own. There are the Hollywood stories and vignettes of growing up knowing John Wayne and so many other Western heroes and other television and movie celebs, written straightforward, (the reader will never have the feeling that this book is a gossipy read) of Nudie the Famous Rodeo Tailor whom Roy helped to get established in Hollywood, and finally of the last decades when Roy and Dale, seeing how different Hollywood had become (mid-1960s), chose to move out to Apple Valley, and live out their lives there.

Throughout it all, Roy and Dale always gave deep love to the people they knew, and encouraged their children to be the best and fine folks in their own right(after learning she was adopted, Cheryl underwent a quest to learn about her real parents, with Roy and Dale supporting her every way). With the happiness there were the tragedies, first Robin, then the young son who died serving in the U.S. Army, and the adopted daughter from Korea, killed in a senseless road accident. Throughout it all, Roy and Dale's faith in God was never unwavering and was always solid. They lived the true meaning of the Cowboy and Cowgirl Codes.*

*(on their very last record together, Roy, Dale and son Dusty recorded a song written by two great friends of mine, Chris Hillman and Steve Hill entitled: "God's Plan" ...that pretty well sums up the honest and rich meaning of the lives they lived.

A warm memoir of a time when the tinsel Cowboys were so very much real - and real people too, unlike the sad imitation that Hollywood has become these days. Thank you, Cheryl Rogers-Barnett for a heartwarming read, and for signing my Roy Rogers-Dale Evans lunchpail in Wickenburg, Arizona last April.

Cowboy Princess.......2006-02-25

I loved this book! I became a little girl again with eyes wide open in awe of my heroes - Roy and Dale. Cheryl is very honest about the fun, the hectic schedules, the grief over the loss of her siblings, her rebellious nature in an innocent way, the strengths and weaknesses of her well-known parents who raised their family well, loved them dearly, lived a honorable life and had a lot of adventures in the way. Where the fans viewed Roy and Dale as super heroes ... Cheryl presents them as parents. I highly recommend this book!

Highly recommended for fans of Roy Rogers.......2004-07-14

Cowboy Princess: Life With My Parents Roy Rogers And Dale Evans is Cheryl Rogers-Barnett's true story of growing up as the daughter of "the King of Cowboys" and "the Queen of the West", whose popular exploits on movies and TV captivated the nation. Joy, the gruelling demands of the entertainment industry, the terrible loss of three siblings, and the lively personalities of those who shared their lives with Roy Rogers, Dale Evans, and Cheryl Rogers-Barnett fill this highly readable and personal account. Highly recommended for fans of Roy Rogers and the western movies of yesteryear.

Good instruction & Good price.......2006-09-12

I've been doing set drumming for quite a few years, but wanted to get into hand drumming. I picked up a set of bongos and decided that some pointers and guidelines would be helpful.

This book presented some rhythmic patterns which I could use in performance settings. I've used a number of the rhythms and also used some as guidelines to improvise and create my own.

There were other books on this subject which were priced higher because they include a CD, as well. This is a good book to pick up if you want a good price and don't want/need the CD too.

not your first bongo book.......2005-08-15

This book presents about twenty rhythms for bongos, but in a very concise manner and the classical musical notation which does not show which types of strokes are used - you have to figure out the fingering yourself. This book is not an instructional material - I guess it is meant for intermediate bongo player as a reference to quickly look up basics of rhytms he is less used to.

However, this is a reprint of rather old material and does not include newer developments in latin music such as the songo.
In my opinion, beginners would be far better off by paying slightly more for the "Bongo Book" by T.Salloum which also includes a CD of examples, or his second volume "Beyond Basics" which also features playalong tracks.

Beginners to Advanced.......2001-07-20

The compilation of rythms by Evans is displayed in a clear and appropriate manner. The rythms are suitable to both an advanced and the aspiring bongo drummer. An excellent set of skills to add to your repetoir!

Harrington's Great Works!.......2007-08-01

Another Super Harrington Work!

Great workbook format!!

Helps organize the way one approaches tournament no-limit hold-em poker!!!

Very well written........2007-07-09

It must be difficult to write a book to a market of poker players of greatly varying skills, but I feel Harrington has done it masterfully. It educates without pandering, and amuses enough while making the reader think and rethink moves that he might otherwise perform on auto-pilot. Pot odds (a now abused catch-phrase amateurs spit out at the table tautologically to compensate defensively for their bad play) are gone into in depth from both points of view (the player and his opponent...i.e. pot odds given and pot odds offered), and rationally shows that no-limit doesn't have to be all about mindless chip-shoving. Looking very forward to his other books. Do me a favor and don't read it.

Good Hold'em Workbook.......2007-07-03

This was a great book with real-life examples. Dan shows all points of views for each of the hands (not just what he would do). Talks about ramifications about different ways to play each of the hands. Good for the intermediate to advanced player.

Hold 'em.......2007-05-13

The workbook is beneficial if you have already read part I and II. The workbook has problems for a person to work, based on the knowledge gained from the first two books.

If you want to improve your game........2007-05-13

If you are tired of contradictory advice read this book.
The author gives an excellent tutorial with loads of real world examples.

Book Description

This intriguing book is a study of the rise and fall of an American genre of entertainment and communication whose symbols and rhetoric helped define American society for decades. Flourishing in the 1950s and 1960s, the television Western has deteriorated to the point where it is now irrelevant and meaningless. Tracing the evolution of the Western from the late 1940s to the 1980s, the author ties the genre to the political innocence and confidence of the Cold War years and suggests that the social reevaluations that began in the 1960s undermined the believability of Westerns and their entertainment value. Seeking to understand the demise of the TV Western, the book offers an analysis of the interrelationships between popular culture, television, and sociopolitical development in the United States during the past four decades.

Whatever Happened to the Television Western?.......2002-09-15

Take a ride down Memory Lane and relive all those favorite Western television programs that once ruled the airwaves. Ever wonder whatever happened to them? Author Fred MacDonald has written a comprehensive guide to their popularity, and has introduced theories as to the reasons for their decline and eventual death. It is kind of a historical/sociological study into the era when television westerns flourished. Citing societal upheavals and socio-political trends to explain his hypotheses, MacDonald unravels the reasons for the disappearance of the western from television today. Remember Gunsmoke, Wagon Train, Big Valley, The Virginian, and Have Gun Will Travel? In 1960, there were over 30 westerns airing weekly. Today, there are none. What happened? This book explains the popular phenomenon and gives reasons for the death of the western genre. Immensely entertaining and invaluably educational.
