Gidget's Got It

Here's something I learned or relearned tonight. Gidget is not that girl's real name. It's a nickname and it's a cross between girl and midget. And the original Gidget seemed to be blonde. And she liked guys who sang to her as they helped her recover from when they tried to drown her.

I learned that they dug big brass sections, those swingin surfers from the late fifties. Perhaps guitar amps had not yet reached a high enough volume level to compete with them.

Gidget's name was Francine, but even her parents called her Gidget. And her parrot. She was seventeen, but she was a hit with all the twelve-year-old boys. Meanwhile, her friends were more developed.
