it's 2 a.m.,,,
one summers eve and the am radio jock i was listening to with my little earplug asks the trivia question "who's motto was, "have gun will travel"
so i calls him up on the extension in my room and lo and behold i am now on the air, 2 am in the morning.
so i answers,"the rifleman"
"oh no, son, it was paladin" (whom i'd never heard of)
just about that time MOM picks up on the other extension and says nothing more than, (in her best evil voice) "You get off of this phone right NOW!!" for the untold millions(?) of listeners that night.
mr dj says, "uh, i think you gotta go"
so we hangs up and i face the wrath of mom next day...
and if thats not bad enough, when i go back to school in the fall a friend asks me, "was that you getting yelled at by your mother on the radio this summer?"
mom, never quite understood till much later that she was live on the air with the biggest am station in the area.
i remind her now and then...
