I ran on RTNY in the '70-'71 time frame and, as I recall, Olde-Blue was sung mostly in the "Covey Club" @ CCC. It would ocassionally "spill-over" into the NCO Club area, but was more of a Covey thing!!
You have to remember, that the "Covey-Riders" heard and were involved in ALL of the BAD-ASSED SHIT that went down, and that the losses that they saw were much more "Personal" to them than those of us @ either the Fwd Launch Site (Dak To) or CCC, who heard it over the air!! They were, as was often referred to by us when you talked about a radio handset, "The Umbical Connection to GOD"!!
Take Care Brothers!!
