My grandfather used to say that the draft lottery was the only time that he ever won. First group drafted, and wound up spending the war building a boot camp and training subsequent groups of draftees.....

I had a skateboard but no where near the comfort of today's models. My feet would vibrate for days after riding this metal wheel version down the street!! Bearings didn't last long either.

Right on. We made our own skateboards as well, including the "X" shaped jobbies that we sat on and tried not to wear the heals off our shoes while booking down the sidewalk hill.

My dentist plays classic rock and I'm perfectly happy. That and nitrous and I'm all set, for a while, anyway.

Frankie Avalon sang at the EM Club in Babenhausen, Germany, shortly after I was ordered to Vietnam. One of my buddies still there made it a point to shake Avalon's hand after his performance. My buddy told me later, "I wanted to touch the hand that had touched Annette." Heh!

Why is it called Muzak?

Quote:
Muzak was the invention of Major General George O. Squier, the U.S. Army's Chief Signal Officer during World War I. ... In 1934, he founded his company, Wired Radio Inc.; inspired by the sound of another successful company called “Kodak,” he later named it “Muzak.”

You remember playing with the cool fluoroscope-X-ray machine- at the shoe store!
My mom always told me to stay away but of course, it was like magic.
