The Iceman

Posted by Red Mud on August 10, 2012 at 12:43:29 from (216.167.146.23):

I got a job one summer driving an ice truck when I was only 14 years old, it was at the end of that era and my job only lasted about a month before the cops stopped me for no drivers license. this was when folks with ice boxes would put an ice card in a front window with the ice block size at the top of the card. the card let you in without knocking on the door and I got to see lots of stuff way before my time. My family was a musical family and we all learned to pick at a young age. My oldest brother would pick his guitar and sing the iceman song back in the early 50's and we all thought he made the song up because he was really good at that. I got an email from a nephew the other day that he could remember my oldest brother singing the iceman and wondered if it was the same one he found on utube. he sent it to me and sure nuff it was the same one. My brother wouldn't sing the song when mom was around and no one in the family remembers ever hearing the iceman except when the oldest brother sang it. Dick Curless came out with it 25 or so years later in the 70's when all the trucker song were hot. I won't post the URL but should any grownup want to hear it type in "Dick Curless The Iceman" in the search box on utube. It's funny but not for kids or grownup with delicate ears.
