Ah yes A M radio . back in 69 one warm early may Saturday evening after the WATERING HOLES closed two farmall 450 diesels got fired up and went to the fields to get the conture strips plowed , both 450'd had matching plows and I H radio's mounted on the steering column both were straight piped W BZ out of Boston was coming in like the tower was across the road not 5-600 miles away There was NOT a living sole with in two miles of us . Radio's blasting to over come the straight pipes , around 3:30 Am as i am coming to the head land and my buddy is at the other end of the field i see a car drive on by and go to the cross roads and turn around and come back and stop . I can't see the car down on the road as there was a high bank between the fields and road , but i could see a figure coming up over the bank in the moon light , those old 4411 bulbs did not light up that much . As i get CLOSER I CAN SEE IT IS A COUNTY DEPUTY . Wonder what he wants Oh it's Howard Gray we know him , I lift the plows and come out of the furrow and stop and get off the tractor to see what he wants , as i ideal mine down i also turn the radio down and get off and walk over to Howard . Howard speaks first and say , ya know i don't mind your TWO working into the WEEEE HOURS of the morning , i don't mind the straight pipes . BUT the radio's are a bit loud as we got a complainant about the music . I asked where from and he said down at the lake ya can hear the radio on BOTH TRACTOR IN STEREO down there ( that was five or so miles away , the wind and the sound was carrying down thru the valley as Howard said he could hear it plain as day and took him over and hour tracking where it came from ,he could not hear the engines of the tractor just the radio , by then my buddy comes up and gets off to se what is going on . He and i got a Chuckle out of it . BUT to keep piece and the natives happy we pulled the straight pipes and put the mufflers back on and own we could turn down the radios .Guess someone did not like rock and roll down there . Howard made several trips out to the farm back then due to our party's. we use to have . When we had a party all the watering holes were empty and the top two hay field were packed with cars . We provided a place and a live band and a bond fire you could see from outer space and it was BYOB , they started when the sun set and ran till the sun came up . Howard would always stop by to check on us and get some refreshments .
