Most of you know, or may not know, or actually may not even care that I grew up in Oklahoma City. We did not come to Texas until I was 16 years old.
Every so often a tune comes into my head from when I was a kid, and 40 years later I can remember every word of the B.C. Clark Jewelers Anniversary Sale Jingle.
Why? I really don't know except that there probably was not a single Christmas season since I was very, very young that this song did not play on the television many times a day.
That was back in the time when there were only 3 real TV channels in OK City: 4 was NBC, 5 was ABC, and 9 was CBS. 13 (PBS) was nearly always there, but we didn't watch it that much.
So, this tune is running endlessly through my brain this evening which gives me the thought to google BC Clark Jewelers in OKC. It comes up on Wikipedia as being known for the famous jingle that was written for them in 1956. Since I am brought into the world in September 1957, I hear this song every year almost from the day I am born.
Weird I know, but doesn't everyone have something like that? Some little tie to the old days that brings up the feelings of childhood?

Hey Kev, just decided to read your blog to celebrate your birthday & see what's up. The BC Clark jingle memory is great. OKC had a rough year with weather. Uncle Neil's & David's houses had a lot of damage from that bad hail storm in March. Love you very much & hope all is well. Happy Birthday. Love Lynn
