Katie’s Beer

A great post from Shrewspeaks over at GrayCharles.com.

We were talking about our memories of the 70’s late-night music show, The Midnight Special. She did a little research and found some great pieces of online memorabilia.

From Shrewspeaks…

TK, Thanks for bringing this show back to me from the deep recesses of my mind.

(Shrewspeaks remembers…) I had two sisters much older than me and on Saturday night they would be stuck baby sitting me. Well, they hoped if I was alllowed to stay up with them that I would fall asleep at 9 or so…but I didn’t. I was the youngest night owl ever. So I would watch this with them as a very young one, three-ish or so and you know something…this show even though hidden from my conscious memory was probably a great influencer in my music taste…I mean look at the variety…and The Wolfman to boot…nice.

Thanks for this…Happy Birthday.

Thanks Shrewspeaks. This was a great birthday present!
