| GOING TO ATHENS |
- Since they "picked up the sidewalks in Malakoff by 6 pm.", if we wanted any activity after
dark, we went to Athens. This consisted of going to the Drive Inn or the downtown
theaters. Or, circling the Dairy Queen to get a glimpse of any girl. Perhaps, driving around
the courthouse circle and stopping at a restaurant to have coffee or coke. I think it was
called the City Cafe. While in the CAFE, we often would play the Jukebox and one song
that I remember was YOUNG LOVE. It seems like the cost to play the Jukebox was about
5 cents or maybe 10 cents. A lot of money for us poor boys. I have been debating as to
whether it was Sonny James or Ferlin Husky, but I found two versions by Sonny James
and I think the Young Love Early Version may be the one. Eddie, Ben and I all liked this
record!! - YouTube Link to Sonny James and Young Love
