The sound of my Grandfather emptying his pipe on the metal bowl beside his chair.
The fizz sound of RC cola hitting ice.
Listening to radio for college football to see if my babysitter would be mentioned (usually was at least once each game.)
The sound of bad TV reception making Howdy Doody almost unintelligible.

No, you go change the channel! I changed it last time!

"Walk it off".
"Wait till you daddy gets home".
Rain hitting the tin roof of the shed outside my bedroom window in the summer putting me to sleep.
My mom pumping the "flit gun" insect sprayer inside the house to kill the mosquitoes every night.
Steel skates rushing over the surface of the sidewalk racing my cousins down the block.
"Morgus Presents" on Saturday nights.

The chattering ducks (mostly mallards) getting ready to take off in the early morning to head to the corn fields....my black lab and I sat in the cattails quivering with excitement. Ready to sight in on a drake with my single shot 12 gauge.
It was like yesterday yet 50 years ago...

Blowing up a raft with the air from your lungs.
Rolling up a car window.
A phone that actually rings.
Throwing a baseball on the roof then catching it.
The sound of a diving board.

A breeze rustling the palm fronds.
A train far off in the distance.
The sound of a band playing at a frat party.

Listening to Beaker Street on KAAY (AM radio) out of Arkansas. Playing cards clipped to bicycle spokes. Locusts in summertime.

My mom and my aunts and uncles speaking Cajun French . The noon siren from the sawmill down the road. The theme from the Rockford Files. Noise of an Attic fan in the summer. Cicadas at night when the windows are open. My pops singing Baptist hymns while he cooked us breakfast before school.

Bobwhite quail. Don’t hear them anymore.
Yep. Used to hear them as a kid. I guess they've been hunted to extinction.

My grandpa used to watch those commies and call out their BS. He told us those Audi owners were just pressing the wrong pedal, and he didn't buy their Alar scare piece either.

“Sega”
Which, to me, sounded like Satan’s choir of demons singing in reverse.
Also, hearing “Hotel California” at least 4 times an hour at Skip Bertman’s batting cages.

Waking up in the summer months to the sound of a crop duster bi-plane banking over our home as he made a turn to approach the soybean / rice fields fields near our home.
That was my Saturday morning wake up from the airstrip across the road from our house. Those old AgCats were unbelievably loud when they took off directly over our house.
