drpro Posted April 7 Report Share Posted April 7 Makes me think of Lee Marvin singing They call the wind Maria. Bless his heart, he just couldn't sing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul F Posted April 7 Report Share Posted April 7 That was Harve Presnell that sang Maria. Wonderful. Lee sang Wandering Star. When I heard him sing that in Paint Your Wagon I almost fell off my seat. I play it quite often through the years. He really didn't want to do it, but it's a classic. I like how they picked a key that made his vocal chords rattle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drpro Posted April 7 Report Share Posted April 7 You are so right Paul. Lee was singing, "born under a wandering star" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul F Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 Ahh, you RF guys. I always admired you. In my first job working on microwave radar jammers for aircraft that fly above 80,000' (there's only one), I'd see these guys come up with the oddest widgets. It was always J space to me. I stuck with the ones and zeros. I always felt it if you can't do RF, you do analog and if you can't do analog you do digital and if you can't do digital you sell real estate.

alexbooy Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 Make a microphone boom into a coax connection, so one of our antenae could be high in the air. My idea, your patent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe this won't make any sense, but someone invent "coily cable coax" so it can all be contained in the antenna mast, like in a boom pole. ...and I LOVED Paint Your Wagon, not sure how many times I stayed up to watch it on late night TV as a kid.

I don't like musicals. There I was, watching this movie and never realized I was watching a musical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drpro Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 My apologies for bringing "Paint your Wagon" into the discussion. Larry's postings bring out the musicals that I have enjoyed over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
