Bogey at Six O’Clock!

by Jimmy Johnson

That’s how radar was invented, you know! It’s been an eventful week, starting with the book close-out and then the hurricane. In case you wondered, I sat just outside the northern edge of Michael’s “cone of probability.” I watched from my front porch Wednesday night as a steady rain was whipped by near tropical storm-force winds. We didn’t lose power or experience anything worse than a messy yard the next day. We are beginning to learn that many inland towns in northern Florida and southwest Georgia experienced much wind-related damage, not unlike tornado destruction, but we haven’t heard much about that yet.

Today's "Arlo & Janis!"

    My! URL is longer than I expected. Anyway, A.W.A.D. is “bayou”, which jogged a mid-century memory. So I searched “big fun bayou youtube”. Most of the men in my USAF postal flight at RAF Sculthorpe [’52-’53] were from JJ’s vicinity, and this was a big hit on the radio [perhaps not BBC] then. For the uninitiated, back then songs had intelligible words and lots of verses. If the URL won’t work, search “big fun bayou youtube”. Peace,

    I do recall that ditty being played on the radio, maybe even early television, when I was young. I am not convinced, however, that the version noted above consists of intelligible words! Maybe it’s just my encroaching deafness coming to the fore.

    c x-p and others. Click the R arrows at the mid-R side for several other versions. The above URL is just the first I encountered. Was unsuccessful at getting a video of “Oh, that’ll be joyful when his peanuts are gone”, though I found printed lyrics plus several pious items about how joyful it will all be.

    Peace,

    emb, there have been later remakes of that song, as well. And the Cajun accent can make it hard to understand, all right.

    I suspected he was talking about Jambalaya. I suspect most people in Louisiana still know that one.
