Mile One is a time machine for ancient entertainment.
VOCM is reporting that country music singer George Jones is coming to Mile One to perform 50 years of hits. Yep a half century of country from a guy who retired from the business before half the people who usually go to concerts were even born.
In the first season, the Mile One line-up consisted of every C List entertainer still alive and willing to go anywhere for a gig. It was a bit like flicking on any recent PBS fundraising telethon.
Seems the only guy they haven't tried to book is Frank Gorshin. Keith Coombs might check him out.
Frank even has a link to a raft of those guys who now turn up mostly on John Gushue's Trivia Crosstalk on CBC Radio. You know them, the kind of people only ubernerds like me remember.
Guys like Jawa Number 3 from Star Wars. (Seriously. He's there.) Or people who had one appearance in the original Star Trek as one or another guest star. Sorry guys, no expendable crewmen in red tunics.
C'mon Keith, there are enough Star Trek fans around to want to see Frank and his minor, minor, minor Star Trek alum again.
