    The only reason for waking up on Sunday...
    I loved it. Tom was wonderful and although I was almost an adult, I never missed "Make a Wish". There is so much unsuccessful garbage available on DVD and this just molds in a film vault? A travesty. I never knew for sure that Tom and Harry were brothers, but I suspected as much. The music that Tom did, his engaging manner was really refreshing, particularly when Vietnam was the predominant 'entertainment' on TV.

    I also just noticed that the nice looking fellow in the remake of "The Manchurian Candidate" was Tom Chapin...go figure!

    ABC: Give it to me and I'll release it. Do you need my address or shall I just drop by with a wheelbarrow and pick it up?
