That's some interesting rock 'n roll trivia. Thanks, Bill.

I worked directly for Brigadier General Babbitt at Randolph AFB in the mid/late 80s. Several of us knew of his fame, but he never talked about it and probably 80% of his staff had no idea...

Heck of an officer and a good guy to work for...

One of the greatest R&R instrumentals ever and originally played (and he's still in the pocket) by a top U.S. general, pretty cool.

• Thats a great story as well Scratch
