breaks into song when reminiscing about old Las Vegas: "There's a new high, a new high, a new high in town, it's the Riv-eeee-era!" Apparently they saturated the radio airwaves with that one. Glad to see it on a postcard, it validates his story!!! (Not that I doubt him.)
Gosh, wish I could have seen that John Davidson, George Carlin, Shecky Greene show! I went to high school with John's kid brother, Lee. John was already a star in 1968. He also narrowly escaped with his life in the Beverly Hills Supper Club fire. Carlin-in-Vegas would have been a genuine hoot. My mother once had a green car, and I suggested she name it "Shecky." She was not impressed with my suggestion, though.
