      Some Disney history at Amazon...

      As many of you undoubtedly know, Walt Disney had a significant amount of presence at the 1964 World's Fair in New York.

      I have a special interest in it since I was, in fact, at the Fair and saw all of the Disney sponsored or created attractions (Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln, Carousel of Progress, It's a Small World, and Ford Magic Skyway).

      Anyway, thanks to following some links in a post that our own Sarah made, I ran across this at Amazon:

      Walt Disney and the 1964 World's Fair

      I've already ordered my copy. Strange, but I actually remember much of this music.

      If you're not familiar with what Walt Disney brought to the 1964 New York World's Fair, here's a link to some Youtube videos that will provide you with a fascinating glimpse of Disney history.

      Great links Tom, thanks for sharing. [Even though you are showing your age by admitting to have been there at the time! ]

      Thanks for the link! The box set looks excellent.
      I listended to the samples of the 1890's, 1920 & 1930 versions of GBBTomorrow. Fabulous! If the exchange rate improves I'd like to buy that.

      And what the enemy will see? They will see the flash of our cannons, and they will hear the ringing of our swords, and they will know what we can do! By the sweat of our brow and the strength of our backs and the courage in our hearts! Gentlemen, hoist the colors!

      Yes.

      It was a banner ad down at the bottom of the page you referenced earlier.

      This one!

      that website has some amazing things and articles...same with Jim Hill Media. I love the story they did about when big John took over and went into the animation department and said "if you dont draw you dont work here"

      I am a HUGE fan of John Lasseter is you couldnt tell!
