Wishing You a Merry Christmas--Carl Omeron & the Don Lee KHJ Orchestra & Singers (1929)

Boss Radio 93 KHJ was my go-to radio station when I was a teenager.

I've seen the Blue Angels many times. #5 is doing a "dirty roll", and #6 is just going "up".

And "up".

And still more "up".

Howdy, Kathy.

I hope you didn’t have to get out and about today. It is COLD up there!!!!!
Chilly here today but I won’t whine about it after seeing what your temps are. LOL

Howdy, PRO.

A little slow on the trigger tonight. You’re normally right on Kathy’s heels as she opens the Canteen doors. LOL

Hope you’ve had a good week.
