The Gregg Bruza View

My third installment on how I wrote one of my early songs on guitar.  This song "The Thought of You" I wrote in 1987 after my friends and I were sitting around and decided to have a contest to see who could write the best George Michael sounding song.

Part two of the 10 Best Film Noirs,  and why the 10 listed in Part One are the best.  We'll talk about their knockout spectacular endings, as well as the twists and turns each one takes, and the exceptional camerawork, great acting, and the story.  Man, the story.  Join me.  But only after you've listened to Part One,

I'll give you a brief set-up on the 10 best film noirs, but won't tell you the endings, so you can go and watch them.   After you experience the "kapow" that each one delivers, join me in Part 2 and I'll talk about what makes  each one so sensational.

A run thru the 10 most famous or well known Twilight Zone episodes.  Then a look at "The Other 10" most famous Twilight Zone episodes which are just as good and some even creepier.
