June 13, 201411 yr I have one or 2 of his King 45s. Are you sure Robb, didn't think he did anything on King
June 14, 201411 yr Are you sure Robb, didn't think he did anything on King I see now that I remembered incorrectly. He's listed as only having releases on Diamond, Jet Star and an unnamed Canadian label, and a couple tiny labels. I guess I remembered a King record in the 5800s with the word "Poppa" in the title. The photographic memory sometimes plays tricks. It's bad enough that my short-term memory is virtually completely gone. But now, despite my eating a lot of wild salmon and drinking fish oil, my long-term memory is starting to go. Maybe I was hit on the head too many times with 100 mph flying pucks and opposing players' sticks. It comes back to haunt one 40-50 years later.
June 20, 201410 yr Author to have had that name all his life he woulda been overweight right from a boy i guess ?
June 20, 201410 yr Lot's of obese people were chubby as kids. But, why would people call you "poppa" when you are a kid? Popcorn Wylie was called "Popcorn" because he loved to eat that stuff. I wonder if Chubby Checker was called "Chubby" at an early age?
