I had never heard of Good Shot Judy previously. However, they were appearing at a nearby community performance venue, so we bought the ~ $20 tickets to check them out. I’m glad we did. Their bio states that the two brothers at the heart of this endeavor were originally in…

Author: David Grann Published in 2018 This book was a gift at Christmas which made it to the top of my ‘to read’ stack in February. My only familiarity with the story was via an old film, “The FBI Story”. I recall seeing at least it probably when I was…

I missed this in theaters so I ordered it on DVD when it came out a few months later. It had gotten fairly good reviews so I thought it would be worth a watch. Overall, I liked it. However, there were some challenges for me. I’ll go through these first. …
