Demographic here, reporting on Paraddidle Joe

Mature demographic!  That’s me!  As in Chi Trib hard-copy caption (for Hartford Courant article by Kevin Hunt):

. . . over-size, amped-up, large-print Clarity Pal cellphone [featuring] old-school style and substance.”

That’s me too!

Oh yes, the days of early clock radio, 1946 with three brothers home from wars and waking of a morning to “Paradiddle Joe . . . beats out the rhythm in a rudimental way . . . Paradiddle Joe all the day,”  about an indefatigable drummer.  Wake to that sound, you’re ready for anything.

Tony Pastor and orchestra, Johnny Morris on drums.  Yeah!
