There is a show on Smithsonian Channel (http://www.smithsonianchannel.com/site/smithsonian/home.do) about her I saw last month called The Sweet Lady With The Nasty Voice (http://www.smithsonianchannel.com/site/smithsonian/show_wanda_jackson.do).Good show! I have it on DVD.

Here's some good news for OKC!

Wanda Jackson (http://www.the9513.com/wanda-jackson-rocks-her-way-to-hall-of-fame-honors/) is going to be inducted into the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame!

I'm going to ask her this Sunday how a country sanger (not singer) made into
the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame.

I'm still trying to find someone that remembers Brown Motor Co. on
29th/Walker across from Jude and Jody... J.B. King? I remember B.B. King...

I remember Rowland Motors just north of 29th, and the sign at the NW
corner of 44th & May where the horses stayed in the shade and watched us
drive by.

I remember Rowland Motors just north of 29th, and the sign at the NW
corner of 44th & May where the horses stayed in the shade and watched us
drive by.Rowlands was at 27th and Walker, n.w. corner. They had the red and white Chevy with two front-ends. The guy that had the place used to go there 6 days a week. No cars on the lot but he was there every day until 2 or 3 years ago. There was a used dealer at 23rd and Robinson. It was on the s.w. corner. I think it was Brown's Used Car. They had a large neon clock on the billboard. "Now is the Time. This is the Place"

The red/white chevy is still alive and owned by one of his Grandsons. When he quit coming over there he had passed away. The Grandson graduated from Grant in the late 60's. My wife does the '66 Grant reunions and at their last one the Red/White Chvy was there in person.....

I remember Brown Motor Co. well, on s.w. 29th across from Jude 'N' Jody!! Their sign was in block letters and they only dealt in quality used cars. They were known for being rather expensive but quality. Their only real competetion in their class would have been D.H. Henry Used cars on 29th between Kentucky anD bLACKWELDER!

First of all, I took the bold and itallic print off of your post! STOP IT!:LolLolLol

BUT! And it's a BIG BUT! You are correctomundo about Rowland's having a
Chevy that had 2 front ends, painted red and white.

Did Rowland have a daughter who was a total babe that graduated in @ 71?

Not that it's important, I'm still in love with her. She didn't know me from
Generals64 or USG60, but I'm still in love! Soonergirl26 I... well... you know...

Yo' Debbie! Do you remember a short guy you may have taped a dime on
a piece of paper with your phone number on it? Maybe that was Soonergirl...

Okay, I'm back to abnormal...:bedtime:

Not a big fan. I figured that out of all the times I've seen him jump off of
that cliff that'd he'd finally miss. I quit betting on it a few years back.

Yeah, we have the same hair style. It's kind of a Twitty look.

You may may have the same problem I do. Went to buy some new pants. My length for years was 34. Too long! Had to buy 32's. I'm not gaining weight but shrinking.

C'mon! When 'dem pants is too long ya' jes' roll'em up. Dat's what Mama

Prunepicker was reel good at whackin' 'long side de haid.

Dang, my haid is still a hurtin'...

Here's one (thank you Pruner)...do you remember going to get your Levi's? and your mom having you get them at least two (2) inches longer than you needed? You would be able to grow into them....Then, you would turn them under and eventually you would get taller and the white line around the bottom would let everyone know that you grew some that year in school? Or, no one wore a pair of jeans with the knees worn out of them...Your mom would patch them from an older pair and like no one would notice your jeans were patched? I know the other day I spilled some battery acid on a new pair of Levi's....Can't wait to get them from the cleaners, had them starched and Iron...Maybe I'll look like a short and Heavy Alan Jackson.....Gotta have style you know...thought my wife was gonna kill me though over the jeans... Oh Well what we give up for an image....Just think Prunepicker used to be 6 ft. tall and wighed 157.....oh well, that's another story and memory from OKC.....

Here's one (thank you Pruner)...do you remember going to get your Levi's? and your mom having you get them at least two (2) inches longer than you needed? I remember the smell of new Levis and how the cloth was twice as thick as the bluejeans today.

The "Back to School" ritual was as follows....Get up Saturday morning before school started...Breakfast....Head to either Airline Shopping Center or (If lucky) Capitol Hill...Lunch was at the Old Coney Island....My sister had to go to Brown's and look...She never could make up her mind....they always ended up going back....and then it was to Levine's in Capitol Hill or C.R. Anthony's any where else....Two pair of Levi's (501's for a long time) or Wheat jeans...You older group know what I mean there....A package of Socks, Underwear (briefs of course) and a package of (hopefully)V-Neck T-shirts...And then came the shoes....Whatever was within the budget the first time....If I wanted Wdges with taps on front and back...(don't know why) I had to earn the extra....From that point on I was a lawn mowing fiend.....Then two shirts...maybe three..However, I got the Hand me Downs from the guy across the street....He always dressed cool so I didn't care...Now off to school...Oh yeah new tube of Brylcreme .....I'm ready....Let's rock and roll....4th Grade????? come on...

The taps were out of style when I got to CHHS, but we tried to wear them at CHJH. Only problem was they were against the "rules". Used to be fun to see how long through the school day before a teacher made you take them to one of the shop classes and jet them removed. Loved the horseshoes.

Mompicker never realized that us little pickers would wear out a pair of
jeans before the first washing. Some people are slow but they're old.

Hey! I'm still 6-4 (make that 64 inches) but I'm taller than soonergirl! I
think. Maybe she's bending her knees so I'll feel better.

Nawwww!

As far as my weight, it's a secret. A 'Big Fat' secret!
