Monday, May 7, 1951 DUTTON JOLTS JACKSON, TIED FOR 1ST DIVISION LEAD The NIRL First Division feature game went to the Dutton Coyotes, who reigned supreme over the Jackson Jackalopes 6-2... the two teams are now tied for the top spot with 7-3 marks at the midpoint of the season. New Yerby dropped Union Heights 5-2 to climb up to within a game of first place at 6-4... Stockdale pulled another win out of the hat, edging Kofa 3-1 in a stunner.

MY LIFE:
EC'S JUST HAVING FUN IN 1951 Hey, Ho-Lena... Ho Ho Hah-Wichina-Hey! Sorry, folks, EC has no idea of what that means... I was educated in Alabama and Loo-ziana… as far as I know, they never featured Navaho in the curriculum... and as most of you know, Southern kids were educationally challenged... we also had snaggle teeth... or in some cases, a snaggle tooth... and we went barefooted most of the time... and married our cousins. Yeah, that's what I like about the South! Those words are from a really good boogie woogie song by a wonderful country pianist, Moon Mullican… listen to his style of piano playing... being a DJ for 32 years, I strongly suspect that "The Killer", Jerry Lee Lewis, learned his style of piano playing from listening to Moon Mullican on the radio and the jukeboxes. Hank Snow, the Singing Ranger, still has the number one country song with the "Rhumba Boogie", so I decided to play another big hit of the day. So all you little darlin's and all you buckaroos need to get your boogie shoes on and get your jitter to buggin' and your boogie woogying. Here's Moon Mullican and the "Cherokee Boogie": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jJCd2gOgjk Last edited by Eugene Church; 09-01-2019 at 05:01 PM. |

MY LIFE IN 1951
EC's just having fun in 1951... it the very merry month of May... hot dog, school will soon out and we can begin to enjoy life again. As you know, I love listening to music... I've been listening to the radio since 1947... listened to mainly programs in the afternoon... also listened to music, too. Les Paul and Mary Ford are still in the number one spot on the Billboard pop charts with "How High the Moon"... so I picked another song that was a big hit at the time for Nat King Cole... a wonderful ballad called "Unforgettable". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXjdMV7SOfE In my humble opinion, the greatest songs were written in the 30s and 40s... the 50s, 60s and 70s were pretty good, too... modern day artists are really weak when it comes to singing talent and songwriting.

Monday, May 14, 1951 AVALON KOs FIRST PLACE JOLIET IN NIRL SECOND DIVISION In a clash of league elites in the North Island Recreational League, second place Avalon (8-3) got the best of the top team, Joliet 6-3, stopped the Green Giants' (9-2) winning string at nine games and cut their lead to just one game... third place Theodore (6-5) won as expected, but had a tough time edging last place Kinston (3-8)... while last place Wafford (3-8) embarrassed fourth place West Chester (4-7) in a rout. The Avalon Oldtimers rallied late and whipped Joliet 6-3... the Theodore Bobcats scratched out an 8-7 decision over the Kinston Firebirds... and the Wafford Eagles walloped the West Chester Comets 16-0.
