Re: Little known facts and maybe no one care,etc

Close, but no cigar.

It was Pa walked behind me and Cubby with a Carbine...

Re: Little known facts and maybe no one care,etc

Har! Har! Har! "...looked into..."

I'm stealing that one!

Re: Little known facts and maybe no one care,etc

Jim,that was not a shabby group. Remember them well.

Re: Little known facts and maybe no one care,etc

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

Re: Little known facts and maybe no one care,etc

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.

Re: Little known facts and maybe no one care,etc

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....

Re: Little known facts and maybe no one care,etc

Did any of them swing across the dye ditch?

Re: Little known facts and maybe no one care,etc

Well, we weren't sure about Bobby Mizzell....if there was any swinging going on, he would be my guess.

Oh, wait a minute, you were talking about the rope swing.....gosh, I'm sorry...I thought...

Re: Little known facts and maybe no one care,etc

You ain't right! Were you a member of the "Kiddie Club" at the Ritz Theatre where Bobbbie played piano?

Re: Little known facts and maybe no one care,etc

Don't ask, Don!

Don't tell, Chubby!

Re: Little known facts and maybe no one care,etc

I didn't think so!
