During the days we kids listened to such radio shows as "The Lone Ranger" and "Sergeant Preston of the Yukon" but come evening mom and dad settled down to family listening. And then it was the likes of... "The Mercury Theatre On-The-Air" "Amos n' Andy" "Johnny Dollar" and "The Grand Old Opera"... with the whole family sitting down together around that old radio. |
The #1 country hit that summer was Hank Williams Sr's Kawliga:Kawliga was a wooden Indian standing by the door He always wore his Sunday feathers and held a tomahawk Poor ol' Kawliga, he never got a kiss, |
Kawliga was a lonely Indian never went nowhereHis heart was set on the Indian maiden with the coal black hair Kawliga just stood there and never let it show So she could never answer Yes or No Poor ol' Kawliga, he never got a kiss, Then one day a wealthy customer bought the Indian maid |
| Where did all those old years of family go? What has happen to our values? Ya'Recon TV had anything to do with it? |
