I remember the show, Shindig. As I was 10 years old when this came on the air. I don't ever remember watching the show Shindig as a kid. I may have found it a bit corny? Or maybe Mikael's Navy was on? And I would never see the show because of something like that. Maybe it was the Andy Griffith show? Or, Highway Patrol with Brodrick Crawford. Yeah that's it. That's why I never saw Shindig. Of course next year. I stopped watching all of those shows. There was only one show I would care to watch.. It was called Star Trek. And it came on when I was in the 6th Grade. And we still had show and tell. So the morning after debuted. It was my turn to show and tell. So I got up from my desk. And I sauntered up to the front of the classroom. And I just stood there and looked at everybody in my class as I panned my view back and forth. I didn't say anything yet. Then I pulled my wallet out of my back pocket. And I flipped it open and said beam me up. And all the other kids started laughing. As they had all seen Star Trek the night before. And so I guess I did the first Comedy. Based upon Star Trek. Likely the first person in the world to do so. I thought I was pretty clever. As I was also the Captain of our schools A V Team. Which would let me just get up and walk out of class. And go take a slide projector or a record player or a tape recorder or movie projector. To another classroom and set it up. Get it all checked out. Then go back to class. Yeah I felt pretty special. And I had a crew of kids that worked under me. I remember one day. One of my crew members. Dropped a Bell & Howell movie projector down the stairs. It got kind of busted up. And while we could've just sent it out for service. I didn't want to be down a projector. So. I set out in the hallway. While my teacher was teaching. And I disassembled the entire projector I was going to fix it. And fix it I did. But my teacher wondered what happened to me? Any came walking out into the hallway. And… OH MY GOD! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE! I just fixed it. You didn't have to he told me. I said yeah I know. But now we're not going to be down a projector for a couple of weeks. He knew he had a firecracker on his hands. I loved my teacher. My teacher loved me. He was so much fun. He was a great teacher. I think about him all the time. He had a hot yellow, brand-new Corvette stingray. I stayed after school one day. Working on some gear. And he was still grading papers. When I got done. The sun was already going down. And he was ready to leave. He said hey I'll drive you home. I said thanks. And it was in that yellow Corvette stingray. And he wanted to give me a little thrill. And he gunned it a couple times. And that was perfectly fine. Because. Because we were right off of 11 Mile Road and Woodward Avenue. Known as dragracing capital of America. And everybody did it back in the 1960s. They still do it, today. It's where it was Invented. And my dad used to take me down to the dragstrip,, semi-regularly. It was so much fun. I miss those simple or days. Everything has gotten so complicated today. I don't like the over complexity everyone is forced to live with. Even our cars. Nearly impossible to repair today. There are so many computers in them. What happened to simplicity? Basics. Tradition. It's gone. And Baby Boomers like myself. We are dropping like flies. It's all over. RemyRAD
