Johnny,

I really enjoyed the video you posted of "The Best of Dick Clark's shows".  Especially liked Buddy Holly, JP Richardson (Big Bopper), The Killer, and the Everly Brothers.  Roy Orbison's "Only the Lonely" should have been included.  Could those Bobbie Soxer's chew gum or what?!!  We'll have to ask El Juan if it might have been "Tenny-See Toobacky", as Juan appears to be an expert on just about evah thang from Eye-rish cookin' ta Ah'll-ask-her fishin'.... 

PS   Johnny could you post the Dick Clark video again?s  Thanks!

John Landess

Well, I trust all have recovered from their St. Pattie's Day celebrations and meals. I only have a bit of the corned beef left.... that is I made it, the potatoes, and some onion into corned beef hash. A little hot sauce and a couple of eggs = GREAT breakfast, or even a supper.

Rex. Rex, if I didn't know better, I would think that the only thing green wuz you. I hope that you are not getting jealous of my many talents! I haven't even mentioned, sailing, diving, or flying (yet). And I have resisted mentioning my natural good looks and youthful figure as of late! So?

Anyway, Spring is sprung... hope all have a great summer

ps. Rex, I attempted to post a photo here of a cute little leprechaunette for you on St Pat's. However the one thing I haven't aced, is this site (yet)

Tommy went hunting over the weekend for the big cats.  He says it's much more sporting to just use your hands.

Happy Birthday Mack R.

Rex Booth

Patsy, 

I saved the birthday girl for last.  It has something to do with that 'deferred pleasure' thing... heh  Hope you have a special time today... and 'Him Too' takes you out for dinner!    

Rex Booth

Well Ah'll be!  If it ain't "Mr. Blue Boy" just back from that-thar  'Greenland'.  Musta taken a case of Milk of Magnesia to sooth the sooth in your sayer. Our own El Juan-Juan who has such high esteem he heap-heaps it upon his-self.  Tsk, tsk, I was tryin' to be civil giving you mucho credit for all yer culinary skills and blarney dills that caused you to git green at yer gills, but alas, Ah bet this short poem... went ovah your haid.  

Rex Booth

Keying off the video "These Boots are..."   There are other various 'boots' like Das Boots and/or the 17th century children's story "Puss 'n Boots"...  

How bout this Fav!!

Oh my gosh, Tommy.  That thing is as big as you are.  Are you taking it to the taxidermist? Where were you hunting?

Fred Miller

Happy Birthday to all whom I have missed so far this month.  Been going around in circles more than anything else.  Made a a mad dash to Roswell to pick up some furniture from Mom's house to bring back over here.  We have moved her to the Bee Hive Home.  Drove a van over on Tuesday, packed the van on Wednesday, and drove home on Thursday.

Thank you to Saundra, Don, Rex, and Pat for the "Happy Birthday" messages!  Also to everyone who wished the "Happy Birthday" wishes to everyone with birthdays in March!  It is always nice to be remembered by old friends!  Did not do anything spectacular for my Birthday but did go out to dinner with family.  Thanks again for all you well wishers!

Wishing you the best birthday yet!   Now... what time do the dancing girls come on?  

Tamara Camper (Sullins)

Thanks for the birthday wishes, Diane, Patsy, Lynn, Pat and Rex! Such a nice day, but no dancing girls! Sorry Rex! But the Rac-a-Taps are stilll kicking!

Saundra Bennett (Whiteside)

John A.,  I remember doing the “Twist” at our Senior Prom.  Most all the girls were wearing long, full formals.  You couldn’t see much of the dance, but could hear the swish, swish, switch of the dresses moving!...ha

Diane Alley ((Webb))

Joe Treat

What I remember about the twist occurred in Mr. Zoodsma’s speech class.  

A young woman, who’s name I will not divulge, was giving a demonstration

speech on doing the twist.  The big button  flew off and her skirt fell down. Needless to say,

She left in tears, carrying her skirt.

Wish all April classmates a very happy birthday.  My daughter was given some old 45 records which she gave to me.  Does anyone remember when they first played them?

John Landess

First of all, Happy Birthday to all the Aprilists, and that's no april fooling!

Tommy, how do you prepare cougar? I have eaten some in Colorado many years ago, roasted over an oak fire. Early folks, like Jim Bridger, Louis and Clark, and many others said it was the best meat out west. Some claimed the next was mule, so figger!!!

John, I first remember playing 45s at George DeShurley's house. I couldn't afford a record player until my senior year in Alaska. I did "win" a Coke 45 player for Johnny Perry on the Coke show. We all had a list of everyone's numbers? and if we heard them call the name and knew someone wasn't home, we would call in and fake it!!

Rex Booth

John Doyal,

Happy Birthday!  Hope you enjoy the 45’s your daughter gave you.

In the early 50’s, my folks still had the old ’78 player . Remember those large heavy shellac ’78 records that broke so easily? I believe 45 rpm records came out around 1949-50.  In 1956 my folks bought a brand new combo radio/record player console that played 78, 33, 45, 16.  It was a Silvertone ‘high-fidelity’ from Sears… sorry Tommy, we didn’t know Zink’s sold ‘em. My first 45’s were 75 cents at Ginsberg.  Later a buck during late ’59 early 60’s.  My first record was ‘Sixteen Tons’ by Tenny-See Ernie Ford (El Juan’s A-number One Hero).  Sixteen Tons became the most sung by guys at Edgewood during 1956... 'St Peter doncha call me....' Then of course ‘Blue Suede Shoes’ originally by Carl Perkins. Elvis did a later version. 

Seriously, are there are any fish at President’s Park…?  Johnny wants to know...

John Doyal

Rex, tell John there are fish there because I have seen people catch them, but every time I go, they are on vacation.  I got my first record player by joining the columbia record club.  It had the adapyor for the 45's.  Before I moved to town I lived on a ranch at Caprock and we had no electricity.  My dad had a windup Victrola record player that played the 78's.  The needles wore out fast, but he found out that a mesquite thorn would fit and was good for about five plays, and they were very abundant.
