I enjoyed that little
"flashback moment" I had this morning reading about Randy Atcher and Cactus
"Tom" Brooks.
I also celebrated my 6th
birthday on "T BAR V Ranch Time" ......... sporting my birthday present, which
was a Hopalong Cassidy Sixshooter set ......... boys would get to "draw" on the
count of three, and show the TV land crowd what a "fast draw" we were .........
of course, Randy would always say it was one of the fastest draws he ever
saw........... and the boy would beam !!!!
We would always gather
around the TV when someone we knew was gonna be on ...... it was a real novelty
back then and a real treat. I even still remember the song they would have all
the children sing together as the show would go off the air ..............
"Brush your teeth each
morning,
and say your prayers at
night,
Mind your Mom and Daddy,
Cause they know what is
right,
Be sure you look both ways
Before you cross the
street,
And be with us tomorrow
night,
When it's time for T Bar V
"
Funny the things that stick
in your mind ....... never had a problem memorizing that, but that Latin Mass
for the altar boys, now that was an altogether different story !!
