Misty And The Cowboys - the Chincoteague Island, Virginia Pony Swim

มุมมอง 1.3K2 ปีที่แล้ว

Every year, in July, tens of thousands of people descend on the tiny eastern Virginia community to witness the wild pony swim, roundup and auction. On August 4, 1985 WUSA TV-9's "Capital Edition" documented the event in a report produced by Todd Mesirow and narrated by John Goldsmith. A footnote: starting in 2018, after the death of a pony during the "penning", the People For The Ethical Treatm...

The year is 1984. Mary Day is still at the helm of the Washington Ballet Company that she founded 8 years earlier but was an offshoot the Washington Ballet School she had co-founded in 1944. Capital Edition (WUSA TV-9) would air this report, produced by Raul Rivero, on Christmas eve, even as performances of The Nutcracker ballet continued at the Lisner Auditorium. FYI: Mary Day died in 2006. Sh...

On Christmas Eve 1996, almost 12 years to the day after we broadcast this story on "Capital Edition" (12/23/84 WUSA-TV 9 Washington, DC) Ed Herberlein died. He was 81. And the "Tuttle & Spice General Store" of Shenandoah Valley, Virginia died with him. Over the years he had filled it with a little bit of everything from times gone by. He didn't sell anything. He didn't even charge admission if ...

Washington, By George

มุมมอง 1052 ปีที่แล้ว

John Goldsmith narrates this early/mid 1980s "Capital Edition" (WUSA-TV 9) profile of Washington, Virginia - a community of fewer 100 souls - with two major claims to fame: it was surveyed by Geo. Washington his-self and it is home to "The Inn at Little Washington" which is still there, still famous and still has the same chef/owner.

John Goldsmith narrates this report that appeared on "Capital Edition" (WUSA-TV 9) in Nov. 1984. With a camera crew he wandered around the Washington stadium during a nationally televised Monday Night Football game between the (then) Redskins and the Atlanta Falcons. Mostly ignoring the action on the field, he focused on the brightly lit life in the stands from the "nosebleed" section to the ba...

1981 Year Ender Special

มุมมอง 542 ปีที่แล้ว

It was a pretty weird year, 1981, inspiring this half hour, prime-time glimpse into the rear view mirror, on what was then Washington, DC's WDVM-9. It actually won a Peabody Award for writing. Two things about that. A big surprise to me because I didn't even known the show's producer, Mark Seeger, had submitted it. And I'm guessing the judges were wow'd by a turn of a phrase or two early on and...

Frosty Morning in the Rockies

มุมมอง 113 ปีที่แล้ว

A February morning in 2021 I discovered a frost like I'd never seen before (or since) at my cabin about 8,500 feet in the Colorado Rockies. Every blade of grass, pine needle and link in the fence was glistening. Whipped out the iPhone and took a few shots before the rising sun forever erased this picture.

It's almost too real in 2019 terms to be believed but in 1942 a new novel, made into a new movie was all about - well, a lot about - Donald Trump by a different name and the illegal, immoral, unpatriotic activities of our times and those times. Let me put it to you this way: he's a billionaire. He has a political organization called "Forward America Association" which has millions of fervent fo...
