Anthony- Yeah I remember seeing one o' those funky Sony color sets /VCR rigs at Bondurant's, too. I remember the VCR was HUGE & the TV looked suspiciously like an American set rebadged. It just didn't "look" like a Sony. You can tell a Sony color set a mile away-back in them days anyway, 'cos they had flat screen sides, & very moderately curved top & bottom sides. To an admittedly weird kid who noticed little things like that- I once burst a guy's bubble over a brand new 1968 Chevy Caprice station wagon-he'd literally drove it from his dealership in Louisville, Ky to Pawley's Island, SC. One side of the door frames had chrome trim around the windows, the other side didn't. This guy was my dad's biggest customer & we young'uns Weren't Supposed to Talk to Daddy's Clients. Be seen & not heard, you know. My old man about s--- when I told the guy that, but the guy was grateful. I saw him several times after that, & he & I always had a chuckle over it. Had 3 gorgeous daughters-one was Miss Kentucky one year in the late '60s, but I was the smart-ass kid who really ought to eff off & they didn't pay any attention to me. But hey- I was 11 & they were grown sophisticated women of at least 16,17 or so. <grin>-Sandy G.
