This week:
A Christmas Carol, Western Style
Dear Friends,
The days are short, the nights are long, the year is almost spent, and the holidays are upon us! What better time than to make up a batch of hot chocolate, and gather around to listen to another great Holiday Story!
This week's tale:
The Six Shooter:
A Frontier Christmas CarolReady for a little "different" holiday story? Jimmy Stewart stars as wanderer Britt Ponset in this delightful episode of his radio series "The Six Shooter", and tells a great western version of Dicken's "A Christmas Carol" to a runaway boy on Christmas Eve. (Another voice you'll recognize in the cast is "Floyd the Barber" (Howard McNear) as Scrooge.) This fun and touching adaptation of the classic story was first broadcast December 20, 1953.
(And, just in case you missed them, you can still listen to BOTH of last week's Christmas tales here!)

READ THE INSTRUCTIONS below if you are unfamiliar with downloading a file or are having any problems with your download.Okay... here's the link to this week's "Living Book for the Ears" program: To download a program, RIGHT click (use the right hand button on your mouse) the link above, and "save target as" (or "save link as") to the directory of your choice.
The file should start downloading right away. If it doesn't, try it again, and follow these instructions carefully. (DON'T cut and paste this link into your web browser -- that will just PLAY the program over the internet (it will be jumpy and start & stop a lot), and will not DOWNLOAD the program. If you want to download it to your computer, you need to follow the above instructions.)
NOTE: If the file just starts playing over your computer right away, that's because you clicked the link with the LEFT hand button on your mouse. You need to click the RIGHT HAND button to download the whole show to your computer.
IF you right click the link and your computer does not allow you to "save target", you need to adjust your computer's security settings (or disable your "internet content advisor" settings) to allow downloaded files.
MAC USERS: In order to download these files, hold down the Control key then click the link with your mouse. It will then download to the directory you choose.
If your download is unusually slow, it could be because our server is busy or overtaxed. You might try again at a later hour. It should - eventually - work fine.
This file will be available for the next week or two only, so don't put off downloading it if you want a copy.
