EP04 Flyboys: The Class of 1963, with David
People usually have a good memory of what they were doing during a historic event. David clearly remembers where he was in the winter of 1963: America and the world was stunned by the assassination of President John F Kennedy, and he joined the United State Air Force one month later. In the 1950s, as the Cold War intensified, the United State Air Force started to maintain air bases in France to counter the presence of Soviet Union in East Europe. David was part of that operation. He was stationed there for three years until French President Charles De Gaulle decided to evict non-French forces from the country. When David was not up in the air, he was a rock star on the base and won many drum battles. This is how a baby boomer came of age, and also a little bit about the politics and music of the 60s.
In this episode, Lulu talks with David, a former member of United States Air Force/drummer/retired police officer.
