Johnny Horton's North to Alaska – Finale
Rupert Flange first appeared in The Editor’s nonfiction cruise books HIGH SEAS LOW COST and DON’T MISS YOUR SHIP!—available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/author/johngriffiths Having sailed to Alaska many times, Rupert and The Editor believe their favourite cruise line should resurrect Johnny Horton’s 1960 smash hit NORTH TO ALASKA as a full-fledged shipboard production show. This is Part 3—the grand finale—of our imagined stage show production, set to Johnny Horton’s truly rip-roaring recording of the actual song. An AI paintbrush brings Rupert and The Editor to life and helps imagine how such a show might look on a cruise-ship stage. The humorous cruise adventures recounted in the books, however, remain entirely true. For the finale, an imagined grizzly bear briefly pilfers The Editor’s treasured green eyeshade. But Rupert has experienced some remarkable real-life bear encounters of his own—as recounted in full in Episode 3 on this channel! Music: “North to Alaska,” performed by Johnny Horton.
