Our first day on the road has gotten us to Cameron, Missouri. We had to delay our start and actually got on the road at about 1:30 pm and stopped for the night after about 5 hours. There wasn't much in the line of scenery so we kept ourselves amused listening to the radio.
So, has anyone found Radio Classics on Sirius XM? It's one of our "go-tos" on the road. If you're not familiar with the channel, it plays a lot of the old-time radio programs. You know, BT....Before Television. Jack Benny, Burns and Allen, Our Miss Brooks, Johnny Dollar, and many, many more.
Today we listened to "Pat Novak For Hire" with Jack Webb. Those of you who are my age will remember him as Sergeant Joe Friday in Dragnet. But BT he was Pat Novak on the radio. In this show he has some really great lines. Here are just a couple of them.
" He slid down like an old sock on a bony leg."
" It's like washing your kid's face and realizing he was ugly before."
" You couldn't strike oil in a filling station."
So, we got caught in the Webb today. It's always good for a chuckle in the car.
And who knows what we'll hear tomorrow. Maybe with a little luck Fibber McGee and Molly!
