OPERATOR, GIVE ME MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE

Once my favorite aunt, she fell out of favor with me (rather, I fell out of favor with her when I sent her a Western Union in the mid 60s asking to borrow a few grand to help me continue partying in Memphis, Tennessee. Have you heard the old song by Chuck Berry, OPERATOR,GIVE ME MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE. Once a waitress in Pittsburgh, California, she dated almost every aviator on his way over to the Pacific Theater. In retrospect, I am sorry I asked her for the cash, but when one is partying and under the influence of alcohol, one can be foolish.
