Ah, the memories that come forth, when I came upon this song. I first heard it in 1972, in Cartwright, Labrador. During an off time from work, while the others were out 'playing' with the mosquitoes, I was in the 'lounge' looking through some old 45 records left over from when the USAF were there.

One record caught my attention, “Cow Cow Boogie”, sung by Ella Mae Morse. I put it on this old hi-fi stereo player, with enclosed speakers in a 4”x6” cabinet that was also left over. When it started to play in that hi-fidelity sound, I cranked up the volume. Ahhh, it was so beautiful. I started twirling and twisting, and givng with the high-stepping, while sipping away on a Molson Canadian.

At the end I went to turn the player off, and there was the supervisor standing beside the player lightly tapping his fingers on the cabinet, with two other technicians standing behind him grinning away. One of them said, “Do it again”. The supervisor slowly turned and looked at him with that look, then turned and looked at me and said, “How many beers have you had?” The technician again said, “Do it again”. I felt ambarrased being caught letting loose, so I went and sat down, and sipped on my Molson Canadian.

But, the memory of that song playing in hi-fidelity, rushes forward.
