Hank and I have talked about Walter Johnson, among other things. I purchased the audio 'Glory of Their Times' as a result of one of our discussions, and I highly recommend it, and am greatly appreciative for his work putting it together - I couldn't tell you how many times I've listened to it, especially in the car on long trips.
Thanks for the props. I never go more than a month or two without listening to the set yet again. I always intend to just listen to one player or one CD, and invariably end up going through all five hours, and then sometimes again! Like a great movie, or book, or music, it never loses any of its appeal no matter how many times (hundreds by now) I hear it. Not because Neal and I did such a great job, although I'm very happy with the work we did and I'm not sure it could be improved on much, but because the material itself is absolutely classic and timeless. My greatest pride is what we did taping Ritter himself just like he did the players, then editing those interviews into the introductions for the set and each player segment. And Larry didn't live that much longer, so it could easily have never happened. After all these years, sometimes I still find it amazing that I actually got to do that.
Hank
