I had been planning on calling an old radio and TV buddy of mine I hadn't spoken to in years to see how he was....and probably reminisce a bit....BUT....what if all I get for my effort is "bad news!" ...such as....he's very ill, or he's in some old folks home...and can't take phone calls.....or...or....who knows...maybe he isn't even "vertical" any more.
I have enough "old man" issues of my own (Nothing big at the moment, thank the Lord) without hearing about others.
But, I gathered up what courage I have left....and dialed!
Lo and behold, "HELLO" a strong and familiar voice answered......
It was the same one we all were so familiar with....when we were "young and beautiful!"

but then, I remembered ....we were on the phone....not the radio.
....and I was talking to a Charlotte teenage idol of the 1950's.....and a good friend of mine from our days at WSOC-TV...Jimmy Kilgo!
What a "hoot" it was talking with him...like it was 1958 again!
Who says there's no such thing as "time travel?" Balderdash!
He still sounds exactly the same as he did almost 60 years ago!
He said that I did too.
Which gave me a great idea!
We'll produce a new TV show called...."Dancing With the Fogies" featuring seniors over 80 jitterbugging....and shagging....and ....and....
Oh well....back to the drawing board!
