We had a toughie this week it appears.
Only one person got the answer 100% correct.
Ah..now where did they go wrong.
- We ask for the FIRST ALBUM THE SONG APPEARED ON.
- Pia added Rick Higenbothem and had the wrong album.
- Tiggerprr also forgot Don Bolton (the West Virginia Creeper), and had Bobby Black added.
- Desert Rat had the wrong album and was missing a few of the members and had some that were not part of the group at that time.
THE ANSWERS ARE:
- COMMANDER CODY & HIS LOST PLANET AIRMEN
- SONG: SEMI-TRUCK
- ALBUM: HOT LICKS, COLD STEEL & TRUCKERS FAVORITES
- BAND (at the time of that album):
- Commander cody (George Frayne)
- John Tichy - guitar
- Buffalo Bruce Barlow - bass
- Don Bolton - pedal steel guitar
- Billy C. Farlow - vocals & harp
- Andy Stein - fiddle & sax
- Billy Kirchen - guitar
- Lance Dickerson - drums
THE COUCH met and partied with CCAHLPA when they appeared at
R.I.T. we took them to the radio station and ... ummm.. passed the peace pipe and as he left
Commander gave me one of his stoogies. Very cool...
And my favorite CCAHLPA songs is:
THE COUCH has been thinking about this for a week now and since we have been playing
NAME THAT TUNE with y'all we really aren't doing
Wordless Wednesday...so, big decision here folks! LOL
We are going to continue to play but not call it Wordless Wednesday...that is not fair to those who meme it each week.
Now before we get to our game, I must comment on the
Hall Of Fame voting...3/4 of the people begin to scroll down to the
Music Clue passing up the comments...
Cal Ripken and
Tony Gwynn were both voted into the
Hall yesterday. I congratulate them both, they played their entire careers with one team, went to work most days. And of course,
Ripken did it for
2,632 consecutive games!Did you know:
- That a record 545 ballots were submitted to the Baseball Writers' Association Of America?
- That 8 ballots did not contain Ripken's name - well we know about one...right Mr. I'mSoImportant!! BUT what were the other seven thinking???
- Thirteen left off Gwynn. OK, the other twelve...I seriously would like to know why.
- Goose Gossage, who truly deserves to be in the Hall, missed by 21 votes. We are talking about one of the most dominating closers in the 70's. And he would pitch 2+ innings with consistancy.
OK, that's my rant on the BBWAA and their yearly folly.
But before we leave...
Note to the Old-Timers Committee:
Ron Santo deserves to be in T
he Hall Of Fame.
Played in 2243 games; Scored 1138 runs; 2254 hits; 1,331 RBIs; .277 BA; 464 Slugging %; 9-time All-Star; 5 Gold Gloves.
We waited to post until morning to allow others the chance to play...Now... New Attitude, New Name -- Rules Are On The Label...:
