If they had been aboard the USS Essex I would have seen something
posted about it when I was there....sailors tend to brag a bit :)

    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.
