Chubby,I remember one of your calls to WFEB. We reported on the news that Coosa River Newsprint was testing a new material for ladies dresses made from wood. They were having trouble with knot holes falling out of the dresses that their models wore. You said,"That should be looked into".
I recall another of your songs,somewhat serious. It was about a boy and girl walking from Twin St. down trash pile road. The father didn't trust the young Cubby,his daughter's date. The song: PA WALKED BEHIND US WITH A CARBIDE LIGHT. Remember when you wrote that one from a true life experience?
Thanks, Don. Sorry I wasn't around when you were a "Mug." I probably would have been jealous, though. LOL
One of the guys just before my time was Billy Todd. I did have a chance on occasion to sing with him. Maybe the most fun was singing someplace like the big tiled rooms like the boys' restrooms at Jacksonville or Troy
One time on a visit to Gadsden on a Chorus trip,Billy Todd went along,after he graduated. He wore his colorful socks,chartruse pants,suspenders and a pin shirt. We also toured the Goodyear Plant. Billy was the most notable of the group. He sorta' looked liked Marcus Dunlap.
Billy Todd used to come to the Culberson house in the village and sing along with the rinky dink piano we had in the hall. My mother's sisters from Eutaw, AL woud come for a visit and she would get Billy over there to sing with all of them. And on one occasion, he was there and Bobby Mizzell was the piano player!
I didn't have enough sense to appreciate the talent that was in that hallway that day....
