Love your army songs, buddy.

As most of you already know, my brother died in the Philippines after surviving the death march. He succumbed to cerebral malaria.

This may be him second from my left.



Need to take a brief break, will be back in a minute or two with other military war and memories.

I knew a girl in those days that played this (Blue Navy) song endlessly, letty.

Ya know, Texas, you rather resemble this guy.

Thanks for that Elvis song. I like it a lot, plus, Elvis was a good soldier.

THis remarkable video covers new ground for me. Love it.

Wow! I had forgotten about that piece of history. Absolutely fabulous, Texas. You sent me to the archives again.

Rubin Carter (born May 6, 1937) was a professional middleweight boxer from 1961 to 1966 and a member of the New Jersey Boxing Hall of Fame. In 1966, Carter was arrested for multiple homicides in the Lafayette Bar and Grill in Paterson, New Jersey. He and another man, John Artis, were tried twice and convicted for the murders, but the convictions were overturned on appeal in 1985 and the prosecution chose not to try the case for a third time. From 1993 to 2005 Carter served as executive director of the Association of the Wrongly Convicted.

Thanks buddy.

Well, I think that we have remembered enough about Memorial Day, so how about a tribute to Walt Whitman on his birthday. This is what I like to see, folks.

I don't give a - about a green back dollar -

Great one by The Kingston Trio, edgar. Here's one to match and what a shock to find out that it's also called The East Virginia Blues.

Don't know this feller, but he plays good guitar.

I don't know how this one will go over. The Doors only have four or five songs that I like. This is one.

The Greenback Dollar song you played was a pretty good song - better by Woody Guthrie.

I agree that I Don't Want your Greenback Dollar was done better, but I Just wanted to hear something called The East Virginia Blues. I'll try and find Woody's later.

Wow! That was an eerie one by The Doors, Texas. Need to research that one.

Today is Johnny Paycheck's birthday. I heard this song by him, but didn't know about his background.


Although Paycheck suffered from drug and alcohol addiction during his career, he later was said to have "put his life in order" after his prison stay. Suffering from emphysema and asthma after a lengthy illness, Johnny Paycheck died at Nashville's Vanderbilt University Medical Center. He was buried in Woodlawn Memorial Park Cemetery in Nashville and survived by his wife and son

Take This Job and Shove It.

I guess a lot of our radio folks may feel this way.

The job I have today rarely made me feel like Johnny Paycheck.

Glad to see our Brit back, and always love to see that smile.

edgar, you're one of the lucky ones, and I love that song by The Fab Four.

Time for me to say goodnight, and I think I'll let bad Leroy do it for me.

From Letty with love and a smile

Good night, letty.
I like everything I have heard by Jim Croce. I think Time in a Bottle is my favorite.

If you understand these lyrics you are more perceptive than me.
