Verdo,

My mother played " Nat King Cole" records all day on our living room stereo when I was young! I know that's been a day or two...but I got to the point we I could sing those songs too.     Pat Broadwell

Dan Brown

Nothing wrong with Johnny, Verdo. He was a mainstay in our household. He was my older sister's favorite.  I thought it was cool Mike mentioned someone many of us would have ignored. ,

Win Young

Brian Brown, You stated in an earlier post of my father stating a Beetles/Beach Boy comparison to you.  Have you any recollection of that exchange?  I never even knew you and my father had ANY interaction.  I agree with Dow, he knew his music.

Verdo Thomas

I appreciate the response my remarks elicited. Most of us wouldn't have admitted, back in the day, to liking Mathis or Cole. But, as we grow older, we discovered there were other types of great singing besides Jagger, Dylan, Joplin or Hendrix. Win, your Dad turned me on to the Jazz Crusaders later known as The Crusaders when they left traditional jazz behind & persued a more lucrative position in pop. 

Brian Brown

Win, I'm trying to recall if we had this conversation at your house or at Federal Heights Ward. I mentioned to your dad that I liked The Beach Boys better than the the Beetles and that I seemed to be in a minority because most kids at Bryant Jr High liked the BEETLES better. This is when he said what he liked about both groups and I walked away feeling better about my allegiance to the 'Boys and that I could and should respect the opinions of others. It was kind of a casual conversation, with a bit of a "Matter of Factly" tone to it. :0)  Brian

I remember double dating with Steve Garrett with our dates and going to see Ramsey Lewis at the Valley Music Hall in about 1968. Dang that’s a long time ago.

Win Young

Thanks Brian Brown for recounting that you had asked my dad about your wonderings about the two group comparison.   It's neat that his answer had you seeming feeling ok even though you felt your opinion was in the minority.  I, too, was on the Beach Boy side of that debate and remember purchasing my first Beach Boy album from a lady, i think her name was Jane Pettigrew.   I can't remember who, it might have been you Brain, who said there's this lady (Jane) who will get you albums for $2.  This was a substantial discount and I recall ordering numerous albums from her.  It was someone at Federal Heights who passed the word about Jane working for....like Deseret Book store and that she would get records for us.   Adamson, Dan Brown, Brian Brown, it seems like we all had Jane pick us up albums.  She lived on 2nd Ave between U and Virginia, south side, 2nd house west of Virginia..  Dan and Brain, any recollection of Jane Pettigrew?

Verdo, I had no idea my dad turned you onto the Crusaders.  I have a couple of their albums and have no recollection of receiving the tip about them from my dad.  Nice to hear that tidbit as well!

Brian Brown

Jane Pettigrew sure sounds familiar and you describe her house as right accross the street from Richard Bradley and right next to our Sunday School Teacher Bro (?)  I think she must have worked at ZCMI or someplace to get us such GREAT DEALS on records. She drove a grey '58 IMPALA. Thanks for the vivid memory!

Verdo Thomas

He sure did, Win. Your pa was pretty hip! I think I was always a little disappointing for him. But, after all, what is a baritone sax to do?!?

Marv Curtis

Hola mi gente, 

It looks like we've reached the point where we need a moderator. As of tomorrow I will be deleting posts about politics and religion. Otherwise, carry on. 
 

Thanks,

Marv

Dan Brown

Ahh, Marv.  I was just getting warmed up.

Peggy Scott (Youngs)

Excellent move!

Ron Poulton

Nice.  An overseer with a delete button holds the ultimate trump card.

John Adamson

Saint Marv for Pres! Wait...that violates both conditions. Rats! 

Anne Hansen (Brasher)

Thank you.  Once again, keeping us friends. 

Jim McCullough

Howard Cosell walks to the center of the ring as the mic drops.  "Tonight's Bout is for the POLITICAL CONVERSION (the gate) of the class of '69.  In the left corner wearing blue trunks is Beth Biden, in the right corner wearing red trunks is Mitt's foe."  Cosell calls the fight:  "Round 1, both fighters land jabs, hooks, uppercuts, haymakers and both are bleeding and have been on the canvas.  Round 2, same as Round 1.  Round 3 same as Round 2. Round 4, same as round 3.  Round 5, same as round 4.  Round 6 same as round 5.  Round 7 same as round 6.  Round 8 same as round 7.  Round 9, fighters swing with more force.  Both fall exhausted.  The round ends with the bell to an empty arena.    

Marv Curtis

Always testing the limits McCullough. 

Dave Mortensen

Thanks, Marv - a little adult supervision really is appropriate from time to time. ;-)

Is it something I Said

Marv Curtis

Are you deleting my posting?????

Just trying put a stick into the Baboons  Cages.

Marv Curtis

Sorry Willy. As entertaining as it can be to provoke each other, there are other places to do that without putting our longtime friendships on the chopping block. 

Dan Brown

Going to school in Salt Lake it was fun to find out, as I met new people that we were truly brothers from a different mother though that mother was two or three generations past.  Steve Snyder and John Adamson are both my cousins because of the "peculiar" institution practiced by our ancestors. Was there anyone you discovered you were related to after you met them?  

 Is it true that Utah is about to allow the time honored tradition of polygamy again? 

Willy Revada Allen

Yes Dan most peps don't know my family came before any of you guys and gals. Check out the back of the Young Monument on main street you'll see the Greens the Flakes and The Bankheads under a line Called Colored. Black Pioneers. I new there was Snow in my Coal shut.

Denise Andersen (Clifford)

Thank you, Marv.  For as passionate as I am about religion and politics, I'd prefer not to alienate anyone in this forum.  That said, can I just holler from the rooftops?---"I voted last week for the first time!!!!" I just became a naturalized woman in November.  The Vietnamese officer who admistered my civics examination asked, "You've lived in the US since 1955 and are just now appying for citizenship?"  My reasons made so much sense to me until that afternoon.  (Something about Canadians being Americans on decaf.)

Patricia Rogers (Broadwell)

Here is something a little different to think about...  any thoughts about this quote??
