Good one, Patti. I heard Freddy "Boom Boom" today singing "Palisades Park." That's a great summer song for me. Written by Chuck Barris, of all people.
Wow. Never knew he wrote that. Don't know that one, Paul. Off to look it up. what did we do before you tube?
Bill, we went to Palisades Park when it was still an amusement park.
Of course I knew that Chuck Barris wrote it.
