In the event anyone is trying to follow gassedup's question he's begun a new thread called "DECISION TIME PLEASE HELP"... he's trying to solve a problem while we (speaking for myself only) goof-off and reminicse.
Anyway my teacher, Bill Cost, (now departed) had made the point that the inevitable change of subject and distraction from the original issue was in fact intended to help make his point; I'm afraid I'm still working on understanding that part of it.
OK wiseguys, who was Grandma Frisbee?
Fact is I can barely remember THEM let alone their horses names unless I don't really want to know...
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, I was lucky enough to have actually shaken Gene Autry's hand while he was at the Trenton Fairground sometime around '58 or so... a little while later I fell down some steps wearing my brand new cowboy boots and broke that wrist, so really, I didnt wash my hand for weeks! Maybe that explains my CRS syndrome, huh, you "oldtimers"? To hear you describe it Bill I'd have thought you picked 'em up on the radio or at the Rialto, by crackee!

(final trivia- did you know "Yippie-I-O-Ki-A" is French? It was extracted from a Louisiana folksong)
Happy Trails!

I was gonna reminisce with you old timers until I realized that I wasn't even born when ol... or should I say "Old" Dee shook that hand.
Well I guess that proves I'm still a pup! and...
its past my bed time
I did listen to the Lone Ranger on the radio. And Jack Benny, and the Shadow... They should bring back story-telling on the radio, It's possible to build mental pictures that you could never do special effects for. Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy on BBC is a recent example. Great as a radio show but less effective on TV.
