Before I moved from NY to Kansas City, I had license plates

on my Hummer (H1-the real thing) that said "TELETYPE".  I was at the
recycling center

one Saturday and a guy came over and asked me about the plates.

Seems he was one of the backup singers on Don Henley's

"DIRTY LAUNDRY" and he remembered them simulating the sound

of a Teletype in  the background (I don't think it was a real TTY).

 

By the way...the song "EASIER SAID THAN DONE" by ESSEX

was based upon the "beat" of a TTY switching center where the

singers worked when they were in the Army.
