Hello All: Most of these songs really bring back memories of older times. Good job you guys.
My Dad being well connected in the local communities, and in a few service clubs had a good ability to orginize and get things done for community work. He had the local VFW host out CB Breaks and worked out a deal with the VFW that they would man the Bar and a few other duties for the breaks. It worked really well. After the break was over we had C&W band there for dancing, it was a great success.
The CB Breaks were advertised over the air from on top the local mountains, I did that in a 1962 Ford Comet, and got stuck a few times, but you could always did your self out. So the CB Break was basically heard all over the greater Southern California areas.
One of the band Members handle was "Getty up and Go" one of the band leaders and a C&W singer. Well as my dad explained it about ol Getty up and Go would get all Beered Up and made a even better singer. We helped him into his car and his wife drove him home to Long Beach Ca, a good ways from out CB Break in the Sunland Tujunga area over looking the San Fernando Valley.
When Getty up and Go got home he fired up his Johnson Valiant Transmitter into his Johnson Linear Amplifier feeding two Moonraker 4 Element Beam Antennas. He had a pretty strong signal from Long Beach! He had a music type microphone that he could sing into and His Electric Guitar was also plugged in the mic circuit. So we could here Getty up and Go sing some ol Hank Williams song, right over CB Channel 15, and not bad I thought! He only did one song as his wife allowed hin to do so.
After the Getty up and Go performed his song you could hear clapping signals coming in.
Some of those old songs I sure wish I had a recording of them..... Thought I would share this one with you all.
