Alfred Hitchcock Presents
"GOOD EVENING".
Each week from 1955 through 1962, famed film director, Alfred Hitchcock, stepped into his familiar silhouette and intoned his seemingly innocuous greeting, "Good Evening", before ushering us into his eponymous weekly TV production, "Alfred Hitchcock Presents". An anthology of tales filled with mystery, suspense, intrigue, imagination and, of course, macabre, the series delivered consistently high quality scripts and was an early proving ground for many young writers, directors and actors.

A song for a winter's day
Remember Tommy Roe? Sure you do.
"Sweet little Sheila, my little Sheila, blue eyes and a pony tail."
"Oh, Sweet Pea, won't you dance with me? Won't ya, won't ya dance with me?"
"Hooray for Hazel, she put me down." etc, etc.
Well, it seems that when he took the bubble gum out of his mouth, ol' Tom was capable of digging just a little bit deeper. This is a lovely and needlessly obscure song of his called, "It's Now Winter's Day". Let's give it a spin.
