I have heard the sound of School starting. LOCUST!!! No mistake. Nothing like them. Always a marvel. I associate them with early Fall and the start of school. I have a few memories there. They are fading fast. So some may not be accurate. I remember going with classmates to sing on the radio. I guess we were pretty good or just the average little kids. Who knows what they were thinking. I just know my friend Lois and I were super excited to go. Downtown Jackson and ride on an elevator to the top of a building on Capitol street. Can't remember which one, if I even knew then one from the other. But apparently there was once a radio station there. I remember being put at the front of the group, Not because I could sing that good, but because I was the shortest one everywhere I went. A "perk" sometime. I think we sang something like AMERICA. Because we did that one with such gusto. Anyway one little girl was super thrilled. Can't take that away from me. I do remember thinking we were going to miss lunch at school. Go figure.
