MBTB (first aired episode in 1971) was also my favorite (and the three Columbo episodes Jack Cassidy appeared in are among my top five favorites). Just for grins, I decided to see if I could find the cabin at (Big Bear Lake, at Fawnskin) was still there. I found it on Google Earth (it has an addi...

Outstanding! I never heard this song growing up in Maryland, and I was tuned into the radio from '54 on (when I started 1st grade). This song is almost an anachronishm, i.e., released in '63. It sounds late '50s. As far as I'm concerned, living in the day, rock 'n' roll, especially doo wop, chang...

After watching this unadulterated piece of propaganda bullshit, I've concluded those morons at ABC are so ignorant that they couldn't even handle a squirt gun. ABC takes a few staged hypothetical handgun incident examples, using young, inexperienced, bumbling people -- then imply the negative res...

been listening to Neil for many decades , he gives me goose bumbs STILL , great voice , versatile music . even a greater writer.

I haven't heard that song in 45 years. I can't say that I missed it!

I bought this record when it first came out and still have it today (but packed away). I felt like hearing it again and lo and behold, as I figured, it's here on youtube.

Superman was my favorite TV show as a kid. I remember it came on a 7 p.m. One night in October of 1955 my mother insisted I do my school homework, and I told her I would do it after Superman went off. She said it didn't come on until 7:30 p.m. and made me do my homework. When I finished at 7:30 t...

Get enough ballons to carry the weight; get a 5-6 feet length of safety fuse (affix to ballons) then tape the fuses of about 10 M-80s about 6 inches apart along the fuse, starting about 12" from the end of the fuse (you light). Then the ballons carry all the M-80s up, and as the main fuse lights ...

I think this was my favorite Columbo episode. I just two days ago found the cabin (on Google Earth) at Big Bear Lake, California , area where some of the scenes were shot, although it's been modified since 1971, when the episode was made. I couldn't find country store, though, but I think I found...

Looks like a classic case of radiational cooling (crystal clear sky and no wind [water surface flat as a mirror!]) where flat surfaces facing skyward get much colder than the ambient air temperature -- although I agree it's late in the season.

Great song from my High School days.

I remember sometime around 1965 somebody played this song over my High School's intercom system. I will always associate this song with that memory. Rock 'n' Roll music was in a transition stage. By the late '60s rock music wasn't anything like the early '60s.

Is this the same Tim Considine that played in Walt Disney's "Spin and Marty," also, the soldier who was slapped in Patton? I see this is the same label Johnny Crawford recorded on, and kind of has the same kind of beat and sound.

I first went to the park on the Wilson Line as a young child back around 1952-53. I remember the ship blew its whistle and it scared the hell out of me. The last time I was there was in August of '62. I remember riding the roller coaster 14 times that day. I'm not sure when the park was finally r...

Joe: Possibly, it might be Sabal uresana. The costapalmate fronds look deeply divided, but it's the glaucous bluish color on the juvenile leaves that looks similar to Sabal uresana. I'm growing many of them in pots and in the ground, and they are bullet proof cold hardy for me. I saw my lowest te...

That greasy kid's stuff like Brylcream, Top Brass, even Crisco cooking grease (Vitalis didn't work so great) was the only thing that would hold my pompadour and duct tails in place. My bed pillow was always a mess! I would go days not washing my hair because once washed it wouldn't hold in place....

The first time I watched this video (more than one year ago) I was puzzled as to how Jimmie was playing the chords.

I know for KSTW he was playing it in Gm, CM, & D; and for Honeycomb he was using G, C & D.

Like what was said below, he must of tuned the strings (differently for each song) so t...

@zourtman I seem to remember the T-bird may have been parked (abandoned) next to an old mobile home (I may be wrong about that). I know there were weeds growing up around the car. I always liked the '64-'66 T-birds and that car just caught my eye, especially the blue paint color. I always wonder...

Great song and great group. Listening to this song reminds me of my navy days stationed in Charleston, S.C. ('68-'70). A shipmate buddy of mine had a Brooklyn Bridge cassette tape and we played it often aboard ship. We also played oldies of the Crest's greatest hits. I was shocked and saddened l...

In '69 a 396 camaro like that was what I wanted. Boy, did I want it! But on my paltry 3rd class navy pay at the time I had to settle for a stripped down Dodge Dart 340 Swinger that I bought new ($2,631.00) from Kirby's Dodge in Alexandria, Va., while on leave the day after the first man stepped f...

@Jackie12509 That's good to hear Larry is doing well. It just came to my mind that another song he did the night I saw the band was Louie Louie. I remember in Jr. High School there was a guy (older student) who drove a black '49 Ford to school. His name was Ray Sly. The school wouldn't let him ...

I can't recall this song being played in the D.C. -Baltimore, Md., area I grew up in. I was glued to AM rock radio (WPGC, WEAM, WYRE, WEBB et al) during this time

period. Just now is the first time I've ever heard this song. I like it now as I would have 50 years ago. A very respectable follow-...

In the late '50s I used to ride the part of the line from the Branchville loop, Riverdale loop, and Mt. Rainer loop. From Mt. Rainer I would ride the trolley to 5th and G Streets, to the olde Federal Power Commission where my mother worked. My step father used to ride the line to Glen Echo amusem...

I just saw them last night in Sebring, Florida. Major personnel changes since I last saw them about 15 years ago. Still, they sounded good and packed the Tanglewood clubhouse.

Great parody to one of my most favorite songs from the late '50s.

Ha ha ha! That comes under the heading of: He can dish it out but he can't take it!

The Castle Law prevails again! One less menacing thug taken off the streets of Florida. As a staunch supporter of the 2nd Amendment, NRA member, and Florida CCW permit holder (as is my wife), I never answer my door without a pistol in my pocket or hand, day or night. And the anti-gun liberals tha...

I just stumbled upon your video. I grew up in Hyattsville and lived just one block from Kennedy and 40th (at 3913 Jefferson St.). I see the house where the tree fell was at Kennedy and 41st Ave. Never in my lifetime there did we get a snow fall that deep. The only rival I can think of was the bli...

@1royalpalm Oops! Should of read the subtitle before posting. 1977 TV tape!

Not a bad song, I like it. It must of been a regional release as I don't recall ever hearing it. Sounds like maybe early '60s to me.

@airsoftloverusp Your a wast too, you sniveling little punk!

@BananaJSSI Well, burlap wraps should help to mitigate cold, dry air dessication of the palm's leaves by helping block the wind penetration. I think you did the correct thing in tying up the fronds and wrapping them considering the circumstances. Give the palms every advantage you can for establ...

Great job! I had to laugh, you did such a good impression of Lee J. Cobb. That dialog was my favorite of the entire movie.

I saw 12 Angry Men as a kid shortly after it came out.

In High School in 1963 our English class read the entire dialog, each student taking turns in doing different charc...

50 years ago! I remember in 1960 something from 50 years ago (1910, the year Halley's Comet appeared) seemed ancient! I mean, WWI (1917) hadn't even taken place yet. The TItanic hadn't sank yet (1912)! It's just blows my mind that 50 years have passed since Go Jimmy Go. It almost seems like a dre...

Very nice! In '75 I bought a used '71 454-365HP (8.5:1 comp.) with the open chamber heads and factory side chambered exhaust ( I could burn the cheapest gas, and never a knock or ping). I ditched the stock cam and installed a Crane fireball SS high lift-low duration, Hooker 2-1/8" side exhaust h...

Not bad, but I still like Phil's and Don's version the best.
