On March 23, 1967, we had just returned from spending a few days at Martinez Lake, on the Colorado River about 40 miles north of Yuma, Ariz. On the way over, we made sure to hit the San Gorgonio Inn, a famous restaurant in Banning, Calif., where we would usually order their fried chicken. The restaurant, on the site of a stage coach stop, used to be jammed at mealtime, but the improved Interstate and changing social mores and dining habits sent it into a long decline. It is now a vacant lot.

I was hoping to catch a lot of fish, but except for one small bullhead catfish that I caught, we got skunked at fishing. When we returned to "the river" a year later, I hauled a good-sized channel catfish, and my brother caught a fingerling bass, which we kept in an aquarium for a long time as a pet.

The weather was nice, and pleasantly warm, until we got to the San Gorgonio Pass on the way home, where the wind blew probably a few miles an hour below hurricane force--as it often does in that area during early spring. On our 1969 trip, a sand storm in the same area blasted the paint off of our car.

On March 23, 1967, I was still listening to "Boss Radio" KHJ, blasting out rock music 50,000 watts strong at 930 kilocycles, but was growing dissatisfied with the music. Within a month, I discovered KWIZ, an all-"oldies" station broadcasting from the Willow Wick Golf Course in Santa Ana, Calif. at 1480 kcs., which would be my home in the ether for several years.

Permisson granted & presence requested Conor! *Hugs*

Was wondering where you were! lol

[Publius]

So you were listening to Robert W. Morgan, Bobby Tripp, the Real Don Steele and Humble Harve.

[AZamericonnie]

So.....he’s not worthless, after all? LOL

Nope, after 27 years I guess he's a keeper! ;-}

“Actually, Lonnie Donegan was a Scot.”

And thank you very much for opening the doors to
MUSIC MAYHEM!!!!

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

[Fiji Hill]

I always liked, “Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavor On The Bedpost Overnight” from Australia. *snicker*

This is a strong candidate for the worst song of all time:

Does the Spearmint Lose Its Flavor on the Bedpost Overnight?--The Happiness Boys (1924)

Or maybe it's this one:

(I Scream, You Scream, We All Screem for) Ice Cream--Harry Reser's Syncopators (1928)

[Drumbo]

To think that half of that ensemble would eventually join YES.

”Rowan & Martin’s Laugh In” had debuted on NBC as a one-time substitute for their Sunday night tradition, “The DuPont Show of the Week”, in 1966. It got a Monday night slot on that network in 1967 and stayed there for years. In various blackouts, the line, “Sock it to me”, was stated by British actress Judy Carne just before she was doused with water. Carne, who had starred in the CBS/BBC series “Fair Exchange” in the early Sixties, hated that, and her career effectively floundered.

Bob Crewe knew a trend when he saw it, and he put this song out for one of his pet groups, formerly Billy Lee & the Rivieras. It made #7 this week.

There are two versions of this single, one with the F-word and one without. This is the clean version.

Mitch Ryder & the Detroit Wheels: “Sock it to Me Baby”

Missing Man Setting

“The Empty Chair”

By Captain Carroll “Lex” Lefon, USN (RET), on December 21st, 2004

“In the wardroom onboard the aircraft carrier from which I recently debarked was a small, round table, with single chair. No one ever sat there, and the reasons, both for the table being there, and for the fact that the chair was always empty, will tell the reader a little bit about who we are as a culture.The wardroom, of course, is where the officers will dine; morning, noon and evening. It is not only a place to eat – it is also a kind of oasis from the sometimes dreary, often difficult exigencies of the service. A place of social discourse, of momentary relief from the burdens of the day. The only things explicitly forbidden by inviolable tradition in the wardroom are the wearing of a cover or sword by an officer not actually on watch, or conversation which touches upon politics or religion. But aboard ships which observe the custom, another implicit taboo concerns the empty chair: No matter how crowded the room, no matter who is waiting to be seated, that chair is never moved, never taken.

The table is by the main entrance to the wardroom. You will see it when you enter, and you will see it when you leave. It draws your eyes because it is meant to. And because it draws your eyes it draws your thoughts. And though it will be there every day for as long as you are at sea, you will look at it every time and your eyes will momentarily grow distant as you think for a moment. As you quietly give thanks.

AS YOU REMEMBER.

The small, round table is covered with a gold linen tablecloth. A single place setting rests there, of fine bone china. A wineglass stands upon the table, inverted, empty. On the dinner plate is a pinch of salt. On the bread plate is a slice of lemon. Besides the plate lies a bible. There is a small vase with a single red rose upon the table. Around the vase is wound a yellow ribbon. There is the empty chair.

We will remember because over the course of our careers, we will have had the opportunity to enjoy many a formal evening of dinner and dancing in the fine company of those with whom we have the honor to serve, and their lovely ladies. And as the night wears on, our faces will in time become flushed with pleasure of each other’s company, with the exertions on the dance floor, with the effects of our libations. But while the feast is still at its best, order will be called to the room – we will be asked to raise our glasses to the empty table, and we will be asked to remember:

The table is round to show our everlasting concern for those who are missing. The single setting reminds us that every one of them went to their fates alone, that every life was unique.

The tablecloth is gold symbolizing the purity of their motives when they answered the call to duty.

The single red rose, displayed in a vase, reminds us of the life of each of the missing, and their loved ones who kept the faith.

The yellow ribbon around the vase symbolizes our continued determination to remember them.

The slice of lemon reminds us of the bitterness of their fate.
The salt symbolizes the tears shed by those who loved them.
The bible represents the faith that sustained them.
The glass is inverted — they cannot share in the toast.
The chair is empty — they are not here. They are missing.

And we will remember, and we will raise our glasses to those who went before us, and who gave all that they had for us. And a part of the flush in our faces will pale as we remember that nothing worth having ever came without a cost. We will remember that many of our brothers and sisters have paid that cost in blood. We will remember that the reckoning is not over.

We many of us will settle with our families into our holiday season, our Christmas season for those who celebrate it, content in our fortune and prosperity. We will meet old friends with smiles and laughter. We will meet our members of our family with hugs. We will eat well, and exchange gifts and raise our glasses to the year passed in gratitude, and to the year to come with hope. We will sleep the sleep of the protected, secure in our homes, secure in our homeland.

But for many families, there will be an empty chair at the table this year. A place that is not filled.

WE SHOULD REMEMBER.”
