gsksun4 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 A very small silver spoon? (Not for stirring coffee, I think.) That could have been too, but not the answer. Fish has a nice way of putting it and I'm pretty sure we've all been around one. Most likely in the 50's and 60's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gsksun4 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 (edited) Thanks!...... we've morphed from Guess Who into Guess What while we wait for the next victim! The object came up in conversation yesterday and I thought the Who folk would know. I'm surprised Iron Lips didn't get it right off. He's prolly been in the same building with the guy a few times. :) Edited December 12, 2014 by gsksun4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironlips Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I must be skipping...err, slipping. I never met Smokey, though I did ride a few floors in an elevator once with Gladys Knight and a couple of her Pips. I didn't recognize her until someone else got on and exclaimed, "Hey, Gladys Knight and the Pips!" (Such a white boy was I.) Him, I could ID. Lionel Ritchie. Still, I was not overly impressed. Unlike the Hurricanes, none of them had ever won the Dream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsksun4 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 (edited) That's a solid gold 45 rpm adapter he's wearing on that chain. And rightfully so, Smokey was one of the hit makers at Motown Records. Edited December 12, 2014 by gsksun4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironlips Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 "Shop Around", "Tracks of My Tears", "Oo, Baby, Baby"...Smokey sure has a beautiful and iconic voice. It's almost a match for the late, great Scarlet Lancer and Sunriser tenor drummer, Bobby "Shoes" Files, who serenaded us all the way through the late '60's. I don't think it's a coincidence that one of Bobby's instructors in the Lancers was Nick Saunders (St. Catherine's/Sunrisers solo sop) who to this day sings with the classic Doo-Wop group, the Clef Tones ("This Little Girl of Mine"...etc.) Music is a great river, and drum corps one of it's hippest tributaries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldbuc Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Back in the early 80's the economy was so bad, (how bad was it?) that Gladys Knight had to lay off two of her Pips! Drum corps related since rim-shot to inserted here......* 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pepe's progression of interrogation when meeting someone new was: 1) Didja ever march in the Dream? ... if yes, 2) Didja ever win the Dream? ... if yes, 3) Didja ever win it twice in a row? ... if yes, then he'd talk to you ... Shelton's three-peat in 67-68-69 was a remarkable accomplishment given all the changes that occurred in judging and instrumentation those years ... :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
