Where does your user name come from?

It actually came about quite spontaneously when I discovered this site, or was it AA? I dig the warm glow of tubes and a hallowed film from the early 70's, The Groove Tube, remember that one when Wally and Beaver Cleaver made a cameo appearance? Yeah, now you remember.

Onhwy61 - a very poignant tale. Don't give up, they may yet be back. btw, does Myrtice ring a bell?

Pops was my grandfather - one of the coolest guys I have ever known - it's why I'm so cool...

Pops- I appreciate you clearing that up, I was indeed quite curious why you are so cool ;)
