    Enjoyed this first segment. Always liked Gary on the air. Where did you and Norm get those homework questions and answers? Were they real questions from listeners?
    Also, a small connection. I bought your parents Granada condo to be a rental. Nice people. Bad investment. Stucco problem.

    Gary mentioned Bill Haley and the Comets playing at a drag race in 1973. I was there that night and they were great, much to my surprise.
