My department doesn't believe in getting rid of patrol cars until they absolutelly can't be fixed, and one of them was old enough to have an AM-only radio. One day while I was searching for some music, which is rare on AM these days, I found a station that played Hit Parade music from the 40's and 50's. Doris Day, Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole, etc. Since my Mom used to listen to that stuff, I recognized all of the songs, and found that I actually enjoyed it. I even ended up subscribing to the Time-Life series of Hit Parade songs.I now believe that Perry Como and Bing Crosby are two of the greatest singers ever, right up there with Wilf Carter and Hank Snow. I've added "To Each His Own" by the Inkspots abd "Mockingbird Hill" by Patti Page to my clawhammer banjo repertoire.
