So, who else goes gaga over that song?
Good Morning, redwitch

As you can see, this is gmcneill.

I begin by saying thank you for your postings to TOTV. You often have a slightly different way of looking at things than I do, but I sincerely appreciate the perspective of someone whose opinion I respect.

The purpose of this message is to let you know that the broadcaster voice-over in "Paradise..." is not performed by Harry Carey but by Phil (the Scooter)Rizzuto, the long-time NY Yankee shortstop and radio announcer.

I just tried to address this issue privately because, well, I was trying to be tactful and discreet. But I see that you do not accept pm

You add so much to the totv. To correct a minor issue in "front of the class" might be interpreted by some the wrong way. I intend no disrespect at all. I just thought that you (and now all other posters) might appreciate knowing...

PS: I agree...Paradise is one of my all time favorites too!
