Met Paul Thorne a couple times playing in a local small.town bar where I used to date a bartender.
Great guy, great musician. Was told he used to spar with Mike Tyson. Dude had the limpest hand shake. I was like what the fuck?
He fought Roberto Duran. He lost but he gave good enough they both rode to the hospital in the same ambulance.
No low ball offers! I know what I got!

T-6 is a great airplane, but I loved doing aerobatics in the tweet…just needed a bit more power.
Frank Hayes (jockey)
Death
The twenty-two-year-old[4] Hayes had never won a race before,[5] as by profession he was not a jockey but a horse trainer and stableman.[6][7] The horse, a 20:1 outsider called Sweet Kiss, was owned by Miss A. M. Frayling.[3] Hayes died in the latter part of the race and his body remained in the saddle when Sweet Kiss crossed the finish line, winning by a head, making him the first, and so far only, jockey known to have won a race after death.[8]Aftermath
Hayes' death was not discovered until Miss Frayling and race officials came to congratulate him shortly after the race. It was suggested that the fatal heart attack may have been brought on by Hayes' extreme efforts to meet the weight requirements,[9] as a newspaper reported he had slimmed down from 142 pounds to 130 pounds in a very short time.[10]After the discovery of Hayes' death, all further post-race formalities were waived by the Jockey Club, the result being declared official without the weighing in.[11] Hayes was buried three days later,[5] dressed in his racing silks at Holy Cross Cemetery in Brooklyn, New York.[12] The horse never raced again, and it's claimed that Sweet Kiss was nicknamed "Sweet Kiss of Death" for the rest of her life.[13]
Wow....blast from the past. I loved those as a kid!!
That's the only toy from the plastic 50/60's era that actually lasted us boisterous kids. Had them for years. found a system when I had grandkids that allowed you to use a tire pump, to load up a liter-sized water bottle, using a release and a bottle adapter. Amazing.
Mine were the early 80's vintage. Probably way less durable but fun for sure!!
