Song - That Old Time Pattern
« on: March 23, 2018, 07:08:50 PM »
Here are the lyrics to help you never forget a maneuver while flying OTS!  ;D

I lost them some years ago in a computer crash, but found a hard copy! Yes, paper still has a place in society.  :)

Anyway, it is written to be sung to the tune of "That Old Time Religion" I hope you like it!  H^^

George, of course is George Aldrich, the designer of the modern pattern. I suppose he really did fly the OTS pattern, but it made a great stanza!  LL~

Feel free to suggest modified/improved lyrics. I am not a pro song writer! Music numbers don't got no Reynolds Number. And one can only hope for it to have high Nitro.  #^

I would love to see Dennis' version!  Dueling OT Songs! Where can we get a couple of Banjo experts to do the competition?  #^

Perhaps it would be worth flying out to Brodak's just to stage it!

Anyway, I have been reviewing and tweaking the lyrics, and here is the updated version.  y1

Let me know if anyone of you has improvements that can be done! My feet aren't large so they aren't Longfellows. I'll take all the help I can get.

I'd like this to be a classic...hmm that doesn't sound right! Some how, I'd like this to be an Old Time doesn't sound right either.  LL~
