Keeping up with Sherlock Holmes

I'm a fan of Sherlock Holmes, and I searched and found several Holmes audio books on YouTube. Enjoy.

You might check out a web site I found called The Best of Sherlock. It led me to the Holmes short stories before going to the novels.

I was excited recently when I was watching Jeremy Brett's version of Sherlock Holmes, since Sherlock's brother, Mycroft, was going to appear. I recognized the Mycroft actor, Charles Gray, as the same guy who played Blofeld on the James Bond movie You Only Live Twice.

It turns out that Mycroft was featured in two of Brett's Holmes shows, especially in The Mazarin Stone. (Check out the audiobook on YouTube.) Brett died the next year, 1995, at age 61, and Gray died in 2000, at age 71.

The Holmes/Brett shows were better, by the way, when Mycroft/Gray was in them.

I just watched Pursuit to Algiers, a movie featuring Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce. For years, I've been looking for the Holmes movie in which Bruce did a lovely version of Loch Lomond. When I learned that a young woman in the movie was a singer and pianist, I knew this was the one.

 And it was. Nigel Bruce's voice was as good as I remembered.
