"...Huey "Piano" Smith and the Clowns, had recorded Sea Cruise with Bobby Marchan on the lead vocal. Ace Records thought that this would be a good vehicle for [Frankie]Ford.... So Huey Smith wrote down the words to the song and gave them to Ford, who still has that note to this day. Frankie recorded the vocal and it was added to the music from the Clowns' tapes to produce the final version. Sea Cruise was a massive hit across the country early in 1959, reaching number fourteen on the charts...."

Uggghhhh, Dr. John!!! Are you the only person on this site that is free from living in a PC over-commercialized world??? Sheeeeezzzzshhh!! Gimme a break....[;)]


Haven't you ever heard / read on the label of 'naturally artificially flavored new and improved'?
i.e. smaller package with new colors, cheaper taste and higher price?

Very good. Based on the fact that, " Don't Ya Just Know It " , is the only
45 record I have, of "Huey Piano Smith " that is the song that I meant.
Nice information.

Craig,

Ballantine's goes good with spam or scrapple.

(this post is proving more popular than the Coffee Pot post)

Dave,

I gotta try some of that ballantine, don't think I ever had it.

I was thinking the same about the coffee pot.

This thread is a hoot![:o)]

This weekend I was in West Virgina and had Cheesy grits for breakfast. They had melted chedder in with the grits, it was the best grits dish I have ever had. Try it!

Is Ballantine still around? Great ad, David! My favorite regional beer was Schlitz. Hmmm, actually my favorite beer is any beer. Mmmm, beer.

Craig, add some real crumbled up bacon bits to those cheesy grits with a sprinkle of sliced green onion. Let me know what you think if you ever try it.

Back in '98 got to see a coal drag come down the New River Gorge at the arch steel bridge.
It came by just as we had made down to the old river bridge Cool!




Looking down to the old bridge atop the new, you can see the railbeds on both sides of the river.

I actually hiked a few miles down an active double mainline in Wv, this weekend.

It was a beautiful clear crisp morning in the Allegheny mountains with the trees in full fall color. It was a nice hike, and I saw three trains in a couple of hours. I got some pics, I will try to post them later. One was a CSX coal drag.

My Dad would lay in a case of POC, every summer for his vacation ! That was back in the 1950s I believe. Then there was a Bock beer too. Can't remember much about it though ! I remember helping my Dad make beer, I liked to put the bottle caps on !

My old man drank Knickerbocker beer. He'd always have a lit Lucky Strike hanging out of the side of his mouth too. He was as "old school" as it gets. Tough, quiet New England Yankee.

My idea of fun would have been to ride the Empire Builder and share a bottle of Ballentines and a can of spam with the lady in that sleeping car.
