Johnny

My dad's birthday was 20 January. He's been gone over 31 years now. After he died one thing that gave me some psychic satisfaction was the fact that I could still watch the Tonight Show with the same cast of characters he watched, continuing afresh each night. It was as if my father's world, if not him, still went on in some form. When Carson left the Tonight Show, I felt that I lost another bit of my father. There are not many more continuing enterprises on TV/radio that are of my dad's time.

I guess when Paul Harvey goes, that world goes with him.
