Thread Name: Jingles you remember.
Subject: RE: Jingles you remember.
Mark Cohen - I don't remember a whole lot about that trip. I think it was in the early sixties. Someone had told my Dad about a "back roads" way to get to Atlantic City from DC. I remember looking for a road called "Buckshutem" - I'm not sure that we ever found it.
This was back before gambling transformed Atlantic City. I remember going to a show at the Steel Pier - I think the headliners were the McGuire Sisters.
I remember all of the Gas Station names that you mention. I remember when Esso changed to Exxon. I remember when Amoco changed to American, and later on when American changed back to Amoco! Now the local Amoco stations seem to be changing to BP - very confusing.
Getting back to the subject of jingles (remember jingles? this is a thread about jingles...), I can't really remember any jingles about any of the Gas Stations you mention, except for a dimly remembered snippet that went something like "Texaco tower of power...".
