When i was little before my dad passed away, that was our intertainment on sat night. Sitting on the floor listening to the grand ole oprey. My bros told me there were little people in the box where the sound was coming from. I really believed them. I looked back there. But i didn't see any little people. They were always teasing me. My bro told me , he got more spanking because of me. Bless him heart. He Did.
