Seems I WAS semi-famous

Jaxon, you sorta remind me of John Cameron Swayze and those old Timex commercials ! ! !

Thanks, I remember him and them well.
I'm kinda like a Timex watch...their line was "it takes a licking and keeps on ticking"...and here I am.

When I was 11 or 12, I sent off for the John Cameron Swayze School of Radio Announcers mail order course.They sent me a little reel-to-reel tape recorder and a microphone that plugged into it. I was to read the scripts that were in the lesson book, interview family members and friends, and then send the tape back to the school where they would grade it. John Cameron Swayze would always record his comments and critiques on the end of the tape and send it back to me. Apparently, he talked me out of becoming a radio announcer because I don't remember finishing the course. I guess I got interested in a new scheme. This brings back lots of good childhood memories when I was still dreaming big.

Speaking of the iconic Mr. Swayze, how many of you remember The Flying Saucer song?

     This is John
     Cameron Cameron downtown
     Pardon me, madam
     Would you tell our audience
     What would you do if
     The saucer were to land


To this day whenever I hear his name I think of him as "John Cameron Cameron Downtown."

... and, knowing Tim, he'd probably still be trying to cook wings and a pork butt with that vacuum.

We'll.....I WOULD have....but I could not find the pull starter.....
