Uncle Charlie's Airplane...

[redrocka 0]

Has anybody heard the song uncle charlie's airplane? (or something like that...) or have any idea where I might track it down? They were selling copies of it at manifest during the freefall convention, should have bought one when I had the chance...

I bought one at the WFFC that year. It is called Uncle Charlies Plane, but doesn't have any contact info anywhere on the CD. The guy's name who was selling them and also the vocalist on the CD is named Chuck Androsky Jr. Other band members are: Jim Madison, Wally Marlton, and Randy Axelson. Maybe you can search for any of these guys to find contact info.

Hope that helps---Blues!!

If both chutes fail......track for your rigger!

hmmm, maybe we are talking about two different songs here. the one i have is on a roger miller greatest hit's cd and it is 'the day i jumped from uncle harvey's plane'.

lyrics:

Me ¡®n' oliver ¡®n' virgil was in the drugstore killing time

When my eyes fell upon this magazine

And i got to reading this article on sky-diving and parachuting

And it said jumping out of air-planes was the thing


Now being raised down on a farm and always ready for adventure

I knew that i could figure out a way

I said ¡°well delmer gill's got a parachute and uncle harvey's got an air-plane¡±

So i said ¡°call the boys together, today's the day¡±


Well i found out too late what uncle harvey called an air-plane

Was nothing but an engine and a wing

And i could feel my fear a-rising as delmer packed the parachute

¡®cos he kept telling me i was doing the right thing


Ron mcloughlin shook my hand as jd strapped me in the harness

And tildon brought a jug and passed it around

I took one look at that parachute and that whisky and that air-plane

And i turned that bottle up and drank it down


Well i was drunker'n cooter jones when they poured me in the plane

The engine coughed and headed for the clouds

But i was sober as a judge by the time they opened up the door

And i've never known my heart to beat so loud


I said, ¡°harvey, i can't do it¡± as he kicked me out the door

And i wrapped my hands around the landing gear

And i was holding on real good ¡®til harvey stepped down on my fingers

And virgil said he heard me scream from way down there


Well i thanked god and delmer gill when my parachute finally opened

I said ¡°well, hell there ain't no use in being afraid¡±

And i went crashing through the hen house, scattering chickens and breaking eggs

And i kissed the ground and fainted dead away


Now friends i've done some fighting, and i've been shot at once or twice

And i've durn near been run over by a train

But i don't think i remember being any more afraid

Than the day i jumped from uncle harvey's plane

sound familiar to anyone?
