November 13 2009 at 22:51:14 Name: Jim Reid Topic: Grandparents in
WWI Comments: My grandpa, Francis Reid, was a cook on the U.S.S.
Lake Mary, a collier (coal ship). He and his brother J.C. joined up together
and were sent to the Great Lakes Naval Training Station near Chicago for
basic training. Grandpa got through OK, but uncle J.C. was hit by the big
influenza epidemic and died there in Chicago.
Grandpa's ship was one of the first to dock in Germany after the armistice
was signed. He went ashore with all sorts of trading material and came back
with a pistol, a framed picture of the Kaiser, a pointy-topped officer's
helmet and tons of other souvenirs.
I used to spend hours going through all the foreign postcards and money he
brought back. He had divided up all this stuff and his coin collection so
the grandkids would all get some of it after he was gone. Two years before
he died, someone broke in and stole everything. At least I still have the
pointy-topped officer's helmet.

com Comments: I would love to play but this one's too easy. I
take it you mean the famous cover of "Louie Louie," not the original version
by Richard Berry. It's actually one of the most covered songs in rock music.
Rhino Records, back when they were still owned by Branson and Foo, put out
a BEST OF LOUIE LOUIE Vol. 1 but I don't think any other volumes followed.
I know they claimed to have found over 100 versions of the song (like 188,
if I remember correctly). The album featured a hardcore version by Black
Flag and an EZ listening version by The Sand Pipers. I have the famous Patti
Smith Band bootleg where she sings The Velvet Underground's "Pale Blues Eyes"
and then effortlessly segues into "Louie Louie." Iggy pop always sings the
set with the imagined dirty lyrics that started the FBI investigation into
the lyrics in the early 1960s - it was found to be unintelligible at any
speed.
My problem has always been whenever I play it on guitar, it magically turns
into "Wild Thing."

- tangent
Comments: How many of you had parents, family or grandparents
who served in World War I?
My late grandfather William Marvin Emmons did. From Arkansas. I have a
pic of him at
Fort Dix, NJ. He was later gassed during fighting in Europe and it shortened
his adult life after the war. Not a drunk but whiskey and long hot baths
soothed the pain, my late Mom said. He passed about 12 years before I was
born.
My other granddad, Joe Bruchas and his brother Anton (Tony) had deferments
as they made "ambulance baskets" in Chicago for the war effort. (Thanks to
Don Lundy for finding copies on-line of their deferments!)
It's tough to fathom that so many people died of influenza then, too, including
many doughboys who never made it to Europe OR survived the War to catch the
killer flu in Europe or on their return home.

It's an interesting format, designed to compete for listeners in the age

Comments:
Last night, I saw the short-lived KTUL late-night psychedelic show,
MAINTAIN, on TV for the first time since 1973.
I just bought an
LG
BD370 Network Blu-ray Disc Player from Amazon. Besides playing the new
hi-def discs, it's also able to access Netflix and YouTube. Once I had it
hooked up, I signed onto YouTube, and watched MAINTAIN videos posted by Jason
Fincher, son of MAINTAIN guru, Edwin Fincher.
You can watch them on your computer at the MAINTAIN link above, or on the
TTM YouTube channel.
I made a discovery in the process of getting the Blu-ray set up. If running
cable to another room of your house for an internet connection is a problem,
a great solution is the Powerline technology. It turns your home's electrical
wiring into a network. With the
Netgear XAVB101 Powerline AV Ethernet Adapter Kit, you plug one device
into an AC socket in the computer room and the other one in a socket in the
TV room. Instant network.

My friends on Facebook also keep a steady flow of both old and new music

November 05 2009 at 13:11:15 Name:
Jim Ruddle Topic: An FM Icon Comments: Gary Chew remarks that he sometimes listens
to WQXR for classical music.
For many years, as an FM station owned by the New York Times, WQXR provided
a strong signal to the NY, NJ, CT area. No more.
The Times has been stumbling financially for the past few years and dumped
the station to, I believe, a Spanish-language programmer, although I haven't
listened. The WQXR format now is broadcast on 105.9, a public station, and
the signal sucks. The staff seems to be the same, including ex-Oklahoman
Midge Woolsey who is music host from 10 AM to 3 PM, weekdays.
I have an odd association with WQXR. It played a small part in a 1964
Cold War thriller,
The
Hand of Mary Constable, by Paul Gallico.
As a kid, I read it in one of my dad's Reader's Digest Condensed Books.
You can still see these books on shelves in TV shows today. They are a dime
a dozen in thrift stores and were designed for eye appeal, so set decorators
evidently have rafts of them.
I liked the story so much that I instantly bought the book when I saw
it at a Tulsa library sale a decade ago. At some time further in the past,
I had checked out the uncondensed version and read it. It was sexier and
longer, but in fact, I found that I preferred the condensed version. Is that
so wrong?
Its description of New York City milieus, the world of spiritualists and
seances, and the subject of cybernetics really got my attention. A TV movie
was made from it in the late 60s ("Daughter of the Mind"), but it didn't
hold a candle to the book.

October 23 2009 at 07:56:00 Name: Chuck Fullhart Topic: Woolaroc brand
Comments: Mike, the Woolaroc radio was not the only thing sold
at Phillips stations. Washers were also sold under the brand name, and I
believe refrigerators as well.
My family had started an appliance and radio repair business during the depths
of WWII, ca. 1943 in Bartlesville. It was a shoestring operation to begin
with, focusing mainly on doing radio repair since the manufacture of new
units was almost nonexistent until after the war.
Phillips Petroleum Co. is legendary in their marketing philosophy and execution,
even including putting Phillips tires on the limo that Queen Elizabeth used
while in America, and which was used during Frank Philllips "66th" birthday
celebration in 1939.
It was a surprise to my grandfather to learn that Phillips stations were
suddenly his competitors when they began selling Woolaroc appliances. The
appliances were manufactured by another company, and marketed under the Woolaroc
brand. The pentup demand for these items was so great, however; that there
was plenty of business in the market for everybody.
Philllips' foray into the appliance business didn't last long, and the family
business and Bartlesville continued to prosper in the 50s, due largely to
the fact that Phillips was expanding and running a very profitable operation.
But the irony of being in competition against the very people who were largely
the target market our family was serving and attempting to sell to was an
ironic fact that was discussed for many years, long after the war was
over.

directly to the south of J.C. Penney at Southland, not in the middle of the

In answer to an earlier question: Sanger Harris opened a store at Southroads
Mall in the old Woolco space. Then Foley's absorbed Sanger Harris and it
became a Foley's store. When Southland remodeled and became Promenade, a
new store was built there for Foley's, and they moved across 41st Street.
And now Macy's has absorbed Foley's and is in that location.
When Woodland Hills Mall expanded, they built a new store for Sanger Harris.
That also became Foley's and now is a Macy's store. John A. Brown was not
originally in the Sanger Harris location. When John A. Brown closed at Woodland,
its space was taken over by J.C. Penney.
