Historical Group Gets Appropriation
BY BILLYE STOCKTON
It renewed his faith in humanity when Bill Bennett
returned from a vacation in California and found
his lost billfold waiting for him in the mall here.
Bennett lost his billfold on the beach at San Luis
Obispo, Calif. *
Assuming it would never be seen again, he figured
he had lost his drivers license, credit cards and the
cash in it. He quickly notified the credit card com-
panies and obtained another drivers license.
It was further complicated by the fact that his
brother’s address in California . . . the brother
had just recently moved . . . was in the billfold
. . . but they managed to locate the brother’s home,
anyway.
Returning from the trip and finding the billfold
with its contents completely intact was a very plea-
sant surprise. Bennett said it was mailed to him
by the park service and apparently one of the rangers
had found the billfold on the beach.
I’m kinds confused about which songs are in the
top 20 now ... it’s obviously not the ones I used to
know, like "Stardust” and "Dancing In The Dark”.
The songs I’ve heard most, and thought were
on the top of the list, were one about something or ,
someone misunderstood and the singer had to find
out for himself, another one about the real thing
and one about how the world ought to be. Then there
was one I thought was a Christmas hymn which turned
out to be about a bullfrog named Jeremiah. And
those first three turned out to be commercials.
I’ll admit I haven’t been listening too well . . .
which may be a clue to the generation gap . . . but
I’m also convinced that today’s vocal artists were
certainly deprived of diction and elocution lessons as
children . . . which also contributes to the lack of
comipunication.
I wonder if we shouldn’t start right now giving
all the little children speech lessons so we can
understand what they’re singing when they hit the
