Over a three-decade span, more than 20 women - many teenagers - died mysteriously in the small towns bordering Interstate 45, a 50-mile stretch of highway running from Houston to Galveston. The victims were strangled, shot, or savagely beaten.

Lest We Forget
Revisado: 03-08-25
For any resident of the upper Texas coast who, like so many of our neighbors, remain haunted by these tragedies that occurred time and again “at our doorsteps,” Ms. Casey’s book is a must-read. On the basis of my relative age, many of the women memorialized within these pages could have been my mother. Others yet could have been my sisters. Or my classmates. What stands out for all of us is Ms. Casey’s book is the most comprehensive on this subject to have ever been written. It was necessary to be written. So that we never forget not a one of these many young women—not even the ones whose memories ebb from the collective consciousness with the passage of time. Sincere respect to Kathryn for writing this book. Sincere respect to Gay Smither for her dedication to the vigilance—she is a gracefully formidable and emulable force of humankind. And sincere respect to Tim Miller, who has channeled his grief into hope for thousands before and thousands to come. May we all pray that those do not in fact come.

James Gandolfini: The Real Life of the Man Who Made Tony Soprano is the first biography of the actor, who died in June 2013 at age 51, widely recognized as one of the best - and most defining - actors of his generation. The audiobook, as performed by Gandolfini's Sopranos co-star John Ventimiglia (Artie Bucco), is informed by fresh interviews with Sopranos actors, HBO executives, the star’s acting teachers and coaches, his childhood friends, buddies from his days as a nightclub bouncer, and Hollywood figures including the directors of his posthumously released films.

A Rare & Poignant Glimpse
Revisado: 07-24-19
“Tony Soprano” was so many different things to so many different people. To some of us, Tony’s appeal was defined not by the primary themes of The Sopranos, but by David Chase’s arc for the character of Tony. Jim Gandolfini was the critical variable. Dan Bischoff brings Jim, not Tony, to life... and back to life... for those of us who miss Jim’s depth, while we reflect on our fortune for the opportunity to have shared in his life, if only as patrons of his art, for what short time we did.

Two retired Texas Rangers, Captains Woodrow Call and Augustus "Gus" McCrae, lead a cattle drive from the small town of Lonesome Dove to the unsettled Montana territories. On their grueling journey, they are joined by Joshua Deets, a Black scout and former Ranger, Jake Spoon, a fugitive, and Newt Dobbs, a 17-year-old boy who may have family ties to Call. Richly authentic, beautifully written, always dramatic, Lonesome Dove will make listeners laugh and weep, dream and remember.

Revisado: 06-15-19
I was initially torn on the quality of the remaster because of the predominant audio level, but the justification is reasonable (and becomes implicit) considering one of the many vices of our favorite biscuit-master and swiller of whiskey. McMurtry, in no uncertain context, establishes Gus as a man whose voice carries, booms in fact, beyond those of mortal men. It's only natural that Horsley incorporated that characterization into the performance. Any of us throwing shade on Horsley's "Gus" would be better served to blame McMurtry. But what fool wants to do either of those things when we could instead be listening to an epic tale about, in part, an iron-headed ranger who'll cheat at card-cuttting for a poke and argue with a stump. Yep; the "Horsley's 'Gus' was terrible" argument is one argument the stumps just aren't going to win.
