[GreenKeys] TTY machine in music

[Ron Kolarik]

Minor point, in the 60's timeframe the USS Essex was CVS-9 not CV-9. Strictly
antisub and no longer an attack boat......sorry to an Airdale they're all boats :)

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Essex says Marines at LeJeune, not Navy --

   

  Founding members Walter Vickers (guitar) and Rodney Taylor (drums) were members or the United States Marine Corps stationed in Okinawa, Japan.   After being transferred to Camp LeJeune in North Carolina, they enlisted fellow Marines Billy Hill and Rudolph Johnson as group members.  Next they added a female lead singer, Anita Humes, another Marine.

   

  According to http://semperfisabrina.wordpress.com/2013/09/14/easier-said-than-done-anita-humes-and-the-essex-1963-rb-and-the-marine-connection/ it was Essex NJ, not the Essex CV-9

   

  But it's still a song that brings a smile.
