[A Random Phrase]

18. Who knows what secrets lie in the hearts of men? The _____ Knows!

I'm thinking this was part of a television series called "The Shadow" or something like that.

Does anyone remember what TV program played the first part of this piece at the beginning and the ending of the show?

The music is II Guarany. The program was Kennecott Neighborhood Theater, a two hour program on Sunday night from 8PM to 10PM. It ran for fifteen years from 1956 to 1971.

In the opening scenes one could see trucks hauling oar, dirt being blasted by dynamite and other operations going on at the mine. The music was played in sync with the dynamite going off...I was always fascinated by it.

Does anyone remember now?


As of I right now I have 4000 posts.

[A Random Phrase]

I remember party lines. They left, in Salt Lake, in the late sixties or early seventies. When private lines began to come in, they cost more per month, so we stayed with party lines until we were told they didn't exist any longer.

I got my son a cap gun about ten years ago. I was surprised it was legal to sell them, considering our overprotective society. I wish I still had it, when I walk around and a dog starts trying to throw its weight around (they are supposed to be tied up or behind a fence, but they are not always). The sound scares dogs. And, I remember pounding the strips with a stone or a hammer.

[MsEva]

We had one cap gun to share between three of us kids and I remember hitting the caps with a rock when one of my other siblings had the cap gun..

Man, all of those pictures on this thread take me back - sometimes to teenage years, sometimes earlier.

[freedomforall]

Does anyone remember a three wheeled car that had two wheels in the rear, a glass bubble door on the front and was quite small?

[A Random Phrase]

I've seen a picture or two, but never saw it in real life.

[moving2zion]

I saw one once down in Emery county, UT. A guy had it in his front yard, he was using it as a lawn ornament. Pretty rusted up. I had seen everything from Brass bodied MG TDs to a few cars with no names that my grandfather kept around, but this one was new to me. I stopped and spoke with the guy that owned the lot. He said it was on the property when he bought the place so he dragged it out front and left it there.

[MsEva]

Yup....I have some more pics.... )
They sure bring back lots of memories for me too....
