the definition of lucky is.....you're 17 you got a date with a magical girl....and this was on the jukebox...I was that lucky boy (we been married 44 yrs)
I've never listened to Johnny Walker, but I've been enjoying his brand of Scotch for years! Smoooth stuff! I've rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy! CHEERS, mate! :-)
Heavens to Hoagy Carmichael! Your droll comments have MADE my day & my week, Sleepy Time Gal! Thanks for giving me a much needed belly laugh. Actually, I don't drink Johnny Walker anymore. I've switched over to mixing vodka with milk of magnesia. I call it a PHILLIPS SCREWDRIVER! Cheers!!! :-)
@JubalCalif hahahaha JubalC, I love it!!! I never know what the "comeback" comment is going to be, but you've made me laugh also.lol The stinkin" lobotomy is what got me. I sat here and laughed so hard!! I thank YOU for that!
Got a good recipe for you. throw out what you take and get some Rum and mix THAT with Benefibre..that's called "no pain, no strain" hahaha Have a good rest of the week!! P.S. keep up the good personality..I like a person that will make me laugh @ any given instant!!!
Har dee har har! Your "rum & benefiber" recipe nearly made me fall off my chair laughing, O' Gal of Slumber! I'm here at the library & my time has run out...but you've made this a blessed day indeed with your pithy remarks & your kind, sweet & friendly manner! Hope the rest of your week is as NICE as you are! :)
@JubalCalif aww you don't have your own PC or Laptop? Glad I could make your day a little brighter... Buy a laptop Jubal!!!! Hugs my friend, phyllis xo
Love it! Nice blend of guitar & strings! One of the best instrumentals to come out of the 60's. THANKS for sharing this absolutely delightful "blast from the past" with us! :-)
The String secton of The Los Angeles Philharmonic was used on this session. Duane, played the melody on a Danlectro Electric Bass Guitar that he purchased at Wallachs Music City (Now a Borders) on Sunset and Vine in Hollywood, Ca USA.
@onemikehart Somebody remembers, Wallach's MC, I remember going in there as a teen, you could go to a private and play a whole album then buy it--I tell folks about it and no one believes me. You must be an L.A. native, too!
To finish off about Radio Caroline. They were gradually forced out of existence, mainly as a result of UK government legislation (encouraged by the record companies). Sunk to the bottom of the sea by the Royal Navy??!! Wwhhaatt???
Surely the posts about Radio Caroline (below) are a joke?! Radio Caroline broadcast for a couple of years ('64-'66 approx.) just far enough off the Suffolk/Essex coast to be just outside British territorial waters. It was termed as a 'pirate' radio station, 'pirate' in that the government viewed it as an illegal operation (although technically it was still legal). It broadcast rock/pop music, in contrast to the saccharine-sweet tunes that the mainstream UK stations were then broadcasting.
Holy Underwear, Batman! I've ALWAYS loved this instrumental tune by the fabulouslly talented Mr Eddy! I think I even saw the movie (with Dick Clark as the lead!) many years ago on local TV during one of those old "late late show" programs! THANK YOU for sharing this delightful "blast from the past" with us! :)
@grosvenori Radio Carolin, man I remember that when I was living and playing pro ice hockey in Holland i n1969-70. What ever happened to Radio Caroline ? It was a great radio station.
@grosvenori Thanks very much for the info on Radio Caroline. Trust the British Navy to sink a good thing. I also remember there was another station called Radio Veronica. I believe it is still in operation. Any news on it ? Thanks again.
Quel belle pièce musicale jouée par Duane Eddy, et tous ces très beaux souvenirs de jeunesse, qui me reviennent en mémoire!
Merveilleux partage!
Merci!

I was a High School Student in the San Fernando Valley when I first went to Wallach's.
The reason that I went..was.to sit in the window playing my favorite music with my friends.
If you like the music from that era, go to kfxm.com and hear all of the music that you remember.

Hallo, Radio Caroline was installed on a ship in the north sea near the
British coast. I live in the middle of Germany and could it hear only
in the dark, cause the weak waves were pointed to London.
As I know the honourable and powerful british Marine sank the ship to
the bottom of the sea.
It was another great victory of the United Kingdom.
The whole story you will find at youtube. Just search for Radio Caroline.
Best wishes
