Decades ago I went to the local video store, and there was a guy sitting at this card table all by himself, so I went over, and it was Don Newcombe, one of THE greatest baseball players of all time, and he was there to sign autographs for some promotion, but there was nobody there. To show you how much times have changed, these days baseball pitchers don't even bat, but Don Newcombe was so athletic, he was not only a pitcher, they also used him as a pinch hitter! I have that autographed picture hanging on my wall to this day. Sadly, Don passed away almost exactly a year ago.EEGAH!!https://monstermoviemusic.blogspot.com/2014/11/hootenanny-hoot-gateway-trio-puttin-on.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5825429179234380868.post-14633591329738200992020-02-15T18:44:37.063-08:002020-02-15T18:44:37.063-08:00A few years ago (or so), there was a funny lady wo...A few years ago (or so), there was a funny lady working as a "courtesy clerk" (aka store entrance/exit watcher) at out local supermarket, who said that back in the day she was a go-go dancer on either SHINDIG or HULLABALOO (I forget which), and the more I chatted with her over the years, the more I was able to track down the stuff she told me about and was able to verify it all! She was for real! But the store suddenly laid off all of their door clerks, so I never saw her again.
