His speciality was railroad stuff, and he was good. His rendition of going between two cars was right on, doors opening and closing, louder track sounds in the vestibule, etc. Pretty amazing. <br /> <br />He related that at one time he and a friend had call to go through one particular small town in the wee hours for several weeks (or months - don't remember for sure). He had a PA system in his car and took to duplicating the sound of a train passing through each time. According to his account, he just about had the locals down on their hands and knees looking for the tracks. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />[(-D] <br /> <br />That was like back in highschool one of my friends had a loud speaker that he installed underneath his hood (you can buy them at Canadian Tire). <br /> <br />So anyway this loud speaker had all kinds of horns and sounds and music, and one of the songs was the ice cream truck song. <br /> <br />So during the summer we would go around with the ice cream man song playing as loud as possible, and all the kids would come running out of their houses, then we would just wave to them and take off...... <br /> <br />Thinking about it in retrospect, I suppose it was a rather cruel joke, but we were having a good time.
