I'm in full agreement about too much background music. And I'd like to hear less whistle tooting from the steam engines and locomotives. I've listened to Max Armstrong on WGN in Chicago for many years, along with Orion Samuelson. I got to meet Max one time at a show. He grew up on a big farm near Princeton, Indiana. He's about the most down-to-earth person you ever met. He has a beautiful H Farmall that's been in his family since it was new. He takes it to shows once in a while. He lives in suburban Chicago, but he keeps in in his garage like many people do. As for his broadcast voice, I think he learned that from Orion Samuelson. I think most people in the midwest find it to be sort of melodic. The double tractors is something that was popular for a little while in the early sixties. I was just a little feller then, but I remember reading about it in the farm magazines. They were actually built to be operated by one man from the front tractor. I don't think it was ever more than a fad. Probably caused a few extra funerals. I hate to think what could happen if the throttle linkage or hand clutch to the rear tractor broke. I hope they had a kill switch. Jim.
