Good choice!! I still have “Baby Scratch my Back” on a 45/
Good evening, Janey...((HUGS))...any new travel plans?
Oran 'Juice' Jones-The Rain...from the 80's, an urban "I caught you cheating" song.
I remember this like it was yesterday.......we were traveling back from Nam to Travis AFB in the "Freedom bird".
Dawn was just breaking as we approached the USA west coast.....the pilot banked the aircraft so the beautiful California coast came into view and said over the PA system...."Gentlemen, Welcome back to the United States of America".....most everyone on board sobbed with joy.
He sure did....

Publius.....#100
Gasshog.....#150!!
Thank you SO much for you sacrificial service to your country!
You kept us safe.....
Oh my....stay dry! Interesting how that hymn works.
Thanks....and the workmen just left at 7:30p. They stayed to finish. We can use it tomorrow night.
We have a lot of Vets here to get to know and some great, patriotic FReeper galz who run the show.
We're here to lift and support each other and to have a good time to boot!
Nice chatting with you!
I served in the Georgia National Guard from 1971-1977 to avoid going to “The Nam”.
I have never felt worthy to stand in the shadow of guys like you.
May GOD bless you and yours.
May GOD save The Republic.
“I Get the Blues When it Rains” (1928) by Annette Hanshaw.
Have an original 78rpm disc of this one. Always been a favorite.
One of the great lines of all time: "You without me, like cornflake without the milk."
Did a quick scan of the CD rack to see what was around - “Rain” is a toughie for the classics - there’s also the storm that wrecks the ship at the end of “Scheherazade”, but that piece is such fertile ground for so many themes it becomes almost too easy to mention it - maybe a sign of a good piece of music....
