Due to my doctor’s order (“Don’t spend more than 20 minutes sitting in front of your computer!”) I see
myself in no position to produce a new show for Sunday, November 3. Anyway, I hope you’ll enjoy the re-

it features Martina McBride & Dean Martin, Barbra Streisand, Roy Orbison, Elvis Costello, Charles
Aznavour, Henry Mancini, Percy Faith, Marlene Dietrich, Ferrante & Teicher, Andy Williams, Shaggy

broadcast on November 10.
