Namesake Series

Posted by travis at 9:24 PM
Thank you, Louren, for reminding us of the Namesake Series:
Cassette tapes of the works of famous authors read by actors with the same last name. David endorsed them indirectly during "This is Spinal Tap." Series included Danny Thomas reading "A Child’s Christmas in Wales" by Dylan Thomas, MacLean Stevenson reading "Treasure Island" by Robert Louis Stevenson, and star basketball player Julius "Dr. J" Irving reading the shorter works of Washington Irving.
"Too late or still too soon too soon to make lots of bad love and there's no time for sorrow. Run around, run around with a hole in your head 'til tomorrow."
