Love the shots from JFK Stadium. I was stationed at the Naval Hospital twice for about 30 months each. There was a beer drinking club that would meet at JFK at night once a month or so, summer and winter. Had a great time. I was saddened when it was torn down,

Man, thanks for posting this. You are the only person that has it that I can find.

[1f5sda]

Please add Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, and Kris Kristofferson to the tags. Keep up the good work!

[ppawriter]

Done thank you

[1f5sda]

You are welcome!

[lurkerinthetube]

Well, actually Kris Kristofferson didn't sing on this song. It was just Waylon, Willie, and Johnny.

By the way, you should do a video like this with "Hold On I'm Coming" by BB King and Eric Clapton.

Great looking fire trucks from the good ol' days!

[paze50]

Where did u get those awesome pics?

[seagravefan]

Nice. I remember as a kid growing up in West Philly seeing Engine 41's IHC tilt-cab pump and Ladder 24's Seagrave tiller with its screaming Detroit 6V-53 roaring up Haverford Rd. towards Overbrook Park with Q's screaming and no airhorns.

[1f5sda]

Why did you pick the song for the video?

[ppawriter]

i felt it was the right one for it

[1f5sda]

Okay!

[1f5sda]

Please don't remove this! It's a great slideshow.

[philflea]

brings back a lot of memories

[1f5sda]

What sort of memories to you? They are classy fire trucks from the good old days.

[1f5sda]

Who sings this song?

[ppawriter]

The Hightwaymen sing this song

[1f5sda]

willie nelson and charlie daniels

[1f5sda]

Actually the singers are Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, and Kris Kristofferson. But that was a good guess.
