The Man With The Golden Gun (007) 1974: Roger Moore (Widescreen DVD) $5.95 Click to BUY James Bond may have met his match in the form of an eccentric assassin., Roger Moore returns as the ever-debonair 007 in THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN, the ninth film in the James Bond series. The super agent is assigned the task of recovering a valuable piece of technical equipment capable of harnessing the sun's energy. Standing in his way is a number of arch-villains, including a highly successful assassin named Francisco Scaramanga (Christopher Lee). If the gold bullet etched with the number “007” that the MI6 recently discovered is any indication, Sacaramanga’s next target just may be the British spy himself. As the diminutive Nick Nack, Herve Villechaize takes his spot in the pantheon of villainous Bond-film henchmen that also includes Jaws and Oddjob, and the luscious Britt Ekland delivers in spades as the bikini-clad Mary Goodnight.

There’s lots of variety on the show this week, from a set saluting some of the big band era’s finest Western recordings, songs that became hit records, to a set of requests for 3 songs recorded between 1964 & 1998. There are some brand new releases of long-lost recordings you’re sure to enjoy, a salute to the late Les Paul, who passed away in August (Les was preceded in death by his wife Mary Ford, many years ago, but he remained active musically into his 90s), and songs from new Sons of the Pioneers, Roy Rogers & Rex Allen re-issues. You’ll hear some gems you may not have heard in a long, long time, so be sure to “set a spell” and enjoy the show!

This week’s show opens with a novelty tune you aren’t likely to forget, followed by one of Jimmy Martin’s big sellers. There are songs from the masters (Bill Monroe, Flatt & Scruggs and Reno & Smiley) and some of the best of the post-60s groups as well. We’ll also return to the beautiful Shenandoah Valley of Virginia and we’ll answer a request for songs that tell stories of the Civil War. There’s some great Bluegrass gospel, a classic or two and a few that may soon become favorites if you haven’t heard them before, so pull up a straight-back chair, lean back on two legs (not too far!) and enjoy the music!

September is here…a great time of year! And there’s a lot of September to celebrate on this week’s SONGBOOK AMERICA. “September Song” by Sarah Vaughn; “Sweet September” by Pete Jolly and Friends; “Maybe September” Tony Bennett and just the Bill Evans’ piano; Sinatra’s “September Of My Years” and Barry Manilow sings “When October Goes” - and more great songs and artists.

Sinatra sings a Cole Porter tune that Cole wrote on a bet. In 1944. a friend bet him that he couldn’t write a song with the title “I Love You” - he did, he won and you’ll hear it here. Claude Thornhill says “Adios”, Ella and Gordon Jenkins perform “I Wished On The Moon”, Jerry Vale sings “Moonlight Becomes You” and in keeping with looking up at the heavens, Sy Zetner’s Big Band do “I’m Always Chasing Rainbows” Much more on the show, one hour of great stuff!
