Old Timers

[Doug Wilford]

You guys didn't travel when Dick Burleson was driving much now did you?    One night- morning while I was catching some shut eye and Dick was driving, I was awakened by a lot of tinkel tinkle music and thought maybe we had had an accident and I was somewhere else.   No there was some Mozart Concerto in E Minor playing on the radio (just guessing what the real song was, but you get the idea).  Of course in an irrate tone I asked Dick what the ---- he was listening to.  He proudly informed me that he liked to play classical music on the piano.   I'm not sure if he still does but I will ask him the next time I see him.   Carbaugh has big ears and memory chip.

Seems Dick liked a lot of different music.  I remember reading that he kept a very complete directory of radio stations for every city he drove through.  That way he could hook up instantly with any style he wanted.
