Question about Echoes of the Mind (1) 5.1
Does anyone know the name of the song that's playing in the background that Higgins is listening to, when Magnum walks in. I think it was in the middle of the episode. I just saw this episode today on Sleuth for the first time since the original airing, and I have this song in my head and can't get rid of it.
Thanks!
Thanks!

I assume you're asking about the song in 5.1, around 20 minutes in. Not sure who's singing, but it looks like the title is Bless ’Em All. An "underground" WWI Royal Air Force song, and popular WWII song. Also heard in a number of WWII films. A perfect song for Higgins to be listening to.
Who would have guessed there was a music "underground" in 1918?For reasons unknown, the song was not published during the Great War but it nevertheless found almost immediate “underground” popularity in the newly founded Royal Air Force. Ward-Jackson (1967, xiii) explains that
[Bless ’Em All] has been the unofficial trooping song of the RAF from its beginning in 1918. During the broadcast of the RAF’s 25th birthday anniversary celebrations in 1943 Mr. S.P.B. Mais (ex-Royal Flying Corps) pointed out that it in fact originated in the Royal Naval Air Service written in 1916 [sic] by Fred Godfrey. That version was not for publication, and it was unknown to the public till the late 1930s [actually, 1940 — author’s note] when it appeared in a completely clean pinafore. Meanwhile, airmen had put all kinds of words to it, the essence of which is not unfairly reflected in the published version.
Yes that's it exactly! That is something you would think Higgins would listen to. Thanks a lot RC!

I thought the two shows combined were pretty good. All of the acting was really good, but the story didn't impress me that much. The bearded guy throws me off too, is that her Dr? Tom seemed to be in top shape for this, maybe he worked out a little more in prep for the shower scene. Speaking of, did anybody else notice the reflection of the camera guy when Sharon opens the door? It might not be the camera, but somebody is definatley just standing there.

I know. I keep mine in a Tuperware container. I think maybe Carmen had mentioned he dips his Fig Newtons in milk so they probably get soggy anyway.maggiepoole wrote:Thomas pulls a bowl of fig newtons out of the fridge to have with his milk. Isn't that kind of an odd place to keep your fig newtons? Just in a cereal bowl, not even a container! Wouldn't they get stale?! Cracks me up the empty paper towel roll too.

I watched this two part episode a few nights ago on my season one dvd set. I hadn't seen it in years and it's definitely not as good as I remembered. One thing I really enjoyed though were the scenes between Magnum and Higgins. I also noticed the Fig Newtons and the empty paper towel roll. That's a typical bachelor pad right there and it was a nice touch by the set decorator. The first time I saw these episodes was back in 1990, a few years before Sharon Stone became widely famous. But, one thing I noticed in watching this episode again is Tom Selleck's hair. It's probably the longest he ever wears it in the series. Also, it seemed to me that he probably had another case of the flu when this episode was filmed, particularly during the scenes when he awoke on the beach in the beginning. He just looks very pale in certain scenes. The scene with the Fig Newtons and milk must have made an impression on me, though, for the next day I went to the supermarket and purchased both items. I forgot how good those things are.
