the road warriors of 1954![]() ![]() I am presuming this was the great car trip of Sunday, March 21,1954. Dad drove to Coalinga from San Luis, and we shot at squirrels along the way. Chuck pointed out signs that said this was illegal, Dad rationalized it. Dad recorded much of what went on, all digitized now, and makes interesting podcast material. The inevitable disputes arose about who got to shoot at a squirrel, how many shots, why there were no squirrels, whether we should touch wild animals, bandits who lived around here, what a pinhead was, whether dad had ever de-livered anyone, why his ancestors only drank rootbeer, not the hard stuff, how he lived in Coalinga for a while, almost got burned up, where he went to grade school there. Near the end of the tape part of the Jack Benny show turns up, the episode of March 21, 1954,
JACK LISTENS TO 'MEAN OLD MAN' ON RADIO 3/21/54 Jack listens to 'The Mean Old Man' on the radio before getting a visit from Don, the Sportsmen Quartet and his television producer, Ralph Levy, who goes over problems with the script for the television show. Jack and Don discuss Bing Crosby and George Burns being on the television show. Nearly identical for first half of show to 3/4/51. CommentsTodd Ehlers
