August 21, 1975: Rick And Paul Reuschel combined for a shutout

We've seen brothers play together on major league teams.   The Ripkens played with the Orioles.   Paul & Dizzy Dean pitched with the Cardinals.

On this day in 1975, the Reuschel brothers pitched a shutout.    Rick pitched into the 7th and brother Paul came in to finish the shutout.

Brothers make history?  I guess there's always the potential for a little history when you go to the ball park.

Summer 1975 and I thought that The Bee Gees were singing "Child talking".....

Back in the summer of 1975, Barry, Robin & Maurice Gibb hit the top of the international charts with "Jive Talkin"!   I remember hearing the song on the radio and thinking that the title was "Child talkin'".   

It was the # 1 song in the US, and much of the world, in mid-August 1975!   It turned out to be one of the biggest hits of 1975 and another gem in the amazing story of these very talented Gibb brothers!   This song is also from "Main Course", my favorite of the 1970's albums.

Barry does the lead. Maurice & Robin do great backup vocals.

How a "bridge" inspired "Jive talkin'" by The Bee Gees


Back in the summer of 1975, I was driving between Madison and Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  I had my left hand on the steering wheel and the other searching for WLS Chicago, the big top 40 station of the Midwest.  

And then I heard "Jive talkin'" for the first time.


My first reaction was that they were saying "child talking".


Second, I knew that it was The Bee Gees because I instantly identified Barry's voice.


Third, I knew that this was a very different sound from the Gibb brothers.


A week later, I got my hands on the 45 and it is still one of my favorite tunes from the 1970's.


According to song facts, the very unique intro was inspired by the sound of crossing a bridge in Florida. 


Great song and one of their many #1 songs!
