I finally received, as a lot of you apparently have, a message from Amazon explaining why they cancelled most of my order and giving me $25 in credit as an apology. Darned decent of them. I mean, I know they were probably worried about customer hostility but a lot of companies wouldn't have thought that far.
Quite a few people e-mailed me to say they recognized Gene Wood playing the bellman in the early part of the show. Wood was later a prolific game show announcer and occasional host.
And quite a few asked if I knew how to see that Eric Idle concert if they're outside its exhibition area. I have no inside info but is it even remotely possible that it won't be available to us? A DVD seems certain and an airing on cable, pretty likely.
