Nothing...

ain't no fire, but the music still plays, lightening bugs everwhere
frogs goin' crazy, louder than my music, which contains Beethoven at
times, by god!

Beethoven??? He's one of the kids in Charlie Brown's comic strip --
always playing the piano if I remember right. Didn't know he'd recorded
a CD! <g>

When the post count hits zero, who'll come back to turn out the
lights??? -- Dick

I believe it's Schroeder who plays the piano! Couldn't pull up that
deal you sent!
This place is about dead, I reckon.
Roy Druskey sang Saginaw, Michigan! later!

Yeah Blue, I think you're right about Schroeder. Is Beethoven the bird
or am I just imagining there was a Beethoven in the strip?

My favorite Drusky song is "Long Long Texas Road".

"I've been up and I've been down I've worked the fields I've plowed the
ground
I've taken strain and pressure till I thought I might explode
Now I yearn for childhood days of model planes and lemonade
When the day stretched out before me like a long long Texas road

Chorus:
Yes a long long Texas road bout a million miles or so
When you're just a child there ain't no time but now
Must have left that long old road seven hundred years ago
And I'd find it once again if I knew how

I've worked in city factories their plastic dirt still clings to me
Monotony near killed me Lord it was a heavy load
Now I dream of comic books and horny toads and fishin' hooks
When the day stretched out before me like a long long Texas road.

Chorus: Yes a long long Texas road .....

So I watch the children play and dream my dreams of yesterday
Don't tell them to be grateful I'm sure that they've been told
If I knew then what I know now that would have messed it up somehow
When the day stretched out before me like a long long Texas road

Chorus: Yes a long long Texas road ....

Back in the mid-40s when I was briefly stationed at Corpus Christi NAS,
a buddy and I did some hitch-hiking between Corpus and Dallas and San
"Antone" on our liberties. And Roy Drusky is right on, those Texas roads
run on forever, especially after dark! No Interstates back then!

I think I hear Don Meredith singing "Turn out the lights, the party's
over ,,,,"! But with your post and mine both dated June 1st, the post
count won't hit zero until at least June 16th. Then POOF! -- Dick

There's a bust of Beethoven on Schroeder's piano.

Roy Drusky may have sung "Saginaw, Michigan" but he didn't have the
hit. Lefty Frizzel did.

Hitch hiking?? When I was in the service, I was dropped off by our
company clerk at 2 a.m. in pitch darkness in Walnut Ridge, Arkansas to
hitch hike to Pittsburgh, PA. It was so dark, I couldn't even see my
thumb!

Yep, I know Lefty's was the big hit, but Roy sang it way back there,
also, dang that's pretty dark!

I took the Basic and AIT training at Ft. Hood back in 1966, Killeen,
no trees, didn't like it at all, reckon bein' in the Army had a little
to do with it!
Town was dry!
EM club we went!
