Quote from: tomswift2002 on March 12, 2024, 07:28:32 AMI just saw on the news that 1970's hit maker, Eric Carmen died yesterday. His Hardy Boys connection is that he wrote Shaun Cassidy's #1 hit "That's Rock 'N' Roll" )"(from Cassidy's self-titled album) that was featured on the 1977-1979 The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries. Shaun Cassidy also recorded "Hey Deanie" for his second 1977 album, "Born Late" and the song was also featured in the show as well. Both songs were included on Cassidy's 1979 "Shaun Cassidy Live" album.Yes- sad news indeed. I saw Shaun Cassidy post a nice tribute to Eric Carmen on his Facebook page. I pray God brings comfort to Mr. Carmen's family and friends. I watched "The Mystery of the Flying Courier" of The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries last night in tribute.

Quote from: tomswift2002 on February 26, 2024, 08:49:09 AMReading Terror On Track shows the datedness of the book. At one point Frank and Joe receive a telegram when the train pulls into a station, and then there are a few times where they want to update Fenton, however they can't because they do not have a cellphone, whereas nowadays in 2024, they probably both would have had a cell (along with the conductor, who after Andrew Driscoll is found murdered, says that he needs to let the engineer know to radio the station ahead to have the police waiting to come aboard and conduct an investigation) that they could have called Fenton, even if they had entered an area with no cellphone reception for a little while, rather than waiting. (Of course there were cellphones in 1991, but outside of big cities the reception was spotty. Also they were expensive.)
