Blacktop Ballroom

Mid 1970's:
It was a pretty uneventful drive on FM316, so far. It was early morning & there was next to no traffic. Not quite awake enough  for conversation, KC commenced channel surfing. That's how he came upon station KMFP, a few bars into a current Pop hit.
"Leave it there.", EuEarl said, nodding his head.
"Yeah. I like this'n.", KC agreed.
Once the song had finished the DJ piped up. "And that was Sammy Johns' CHEVY VAN. This is KMFP radio. It's a quarter after the hour. Looking for a bargain on a new or used car ?  Visit Vandergriff of Arlington & while you're there, check out the new Cosworth Vega !...Next up we've got Ronstadt's remake of an ol' Vandellas hit HEATWAVE. Ronstadt's gonna be at the Cotton Bowl this weekend ! Be the 10th caller at the top of the Noon hour & win free tickets !...."
KC looked puzzled. " What'za 'Ronstadt' ?"
"Y'mean 'Who' ! She was the gal on Mike Douglas last week. Sang  that Buddy Holly song; remember ?"
KC didn't, but "Oh...".
The deejay continued.'"Also, gonna be spinnin' John Denver's THANK GOD I'M A COUNTRY BOY. Coupl'a oldies comin' up. Freada Wallace LET ME BE YOUR BABY &  Donna Fargo's HAPPIEST GIRL IN THE WHOLE USA , plus PALOMA BLANCA  by an overseas band called the George Baker Selection . That one features a recorder, if any of ya know what that is ! But we'll start the set with the Captain & Tennille &  LOVE WILL KEEP US TOGETHER ... "
Their thoughts & smiles were instantaneous !
"KC, babe...",  EuEarl began.
"Way ahead'a ya, love !" KC interrupted, as he pulled over onto the shoulder of the highway. As KC shifted into Park, cutting off the engine,but carefully leaving the key partially turned in the ignition, EuEarl cranked up the radio ! Both men sprang out of their pickup, looked both ways & seeing that the road was clear, stepped hand in hand out onto the asphalt !
