Who is Harry Truman? (An Audio Montage)
Back in the days of near antiquity I apprenticed, then worked in a recording studio. This was in the now by-gone era of magnetic tape, head degaussers, and editing with grease pencils & razor blades.
This assignment was for me & Kevin to do a 10 minute montage which had to include: 1) an atomic bomb explosion; 2) the sound of a race car; 3) Knute Rockne.
Funny how the more things change, the more they stay the same.

If This Ain’t Love Lyrics
Blasting out of Waco
South on Thirty-five
Shooting down to San Anton’
As fast as I can drive
Sirens slicin’ up the air
Choppers slap the sky
Texas Rangers in my mirror
Never wonder why
If this ain’t love
It’s damn near insane
Got nothing left to prove
Got no one else to blame
Canvas bags from Compass Bank
Packed up full of cash
I tipped my hat and smiled in thanks
But a Brinks Man blocked my path
Bullet casin’s rattled
Across the marble floor
He wore his blood upon his badge
As I bolted for the door
If this ain’t love
It’s damn near insane
Got nothing left to lose
And no one but myself to blame
I tried to make it right
I tried to make it true
But now you’ll learn about my flight
On the cable news
I never wanted fame
And fortunes never last
To see love bloomin’ on your face
Was all I ever asked
If this ain’t love
It’s damn near insane
Got nothing left to prove
Got no one else to blame
If this ain’t love
It’s damn near insane
Got nothing left to lose
And no one but myself to blame
Steaming on the Nickel Plate Road

George L. Ferguson

The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Service Cross to Sergeant First Class George L.

While making a reconnaissance of the enemy’s advanced positions, Sergeant Ferguson, alone, routed a German machine-gun squad, who were setting up a machine-gun along a road over which our troops were advancing. He continued the reconnaissance with the battalion commander until the latter was fatally wounded, and then assisted him to a dressing station, being subjected to heavy machine-gun fire the entire time.
