Wanna be part of the DB Cooper Chorus and perform "Singin' da DB Cooper Blues" at CooperCon?* Email me and I'll send y'all the lyrics.

* Or at the Victor 23 Tavern, or that Oyster Bar whose name I forget.

Some sort of karaoke one night sounds fun. If we make it happen I'll get up there too...perhaps my best George Strait, or Portugal.The Man, or Harry Styles.

The name is Dan and Louie’s Oyster Bar ! It’s been around for about 100 years so I have my doubts that it’s OUR Danny Boy ! Lol

If you’re going to karaoke, this is the song you need to do:

“Floating, I'm floating on down through the sky
Never had no ambition to learn how to fly
I'll be glad when it's over and ready to land
With this bag full of money I've got in my hand
If you can't get a job and they think you're insane
If the years of your youth have been washed down the drain
And you wake up some mornin' with nothin' but pain
It was then I decided to grab me a plane“

So who's their suspect that was in Korea rather than Vietnam?

Check out the intro to this live version...

"Bag Full of Money" – The Byrds


Floating I'm floating on down through the sky
Never had no ambition to learn how to fly
I'll be glad when it's over and ready to land
With this bag full of money I've got in my hand

Oh I grew up believing in Jesse and Frank
Cause I never had nothin' or no one to thank
And I came pretty close to unloadin' a bank
But I was saved by my draft board who made me a yank

Floating I'm floating...

And in the 101st they busted your hump
But they taught me a man isn't always a chump
In the course of Korea I learned how to jump
In the card game of life I was holding a trump

Floating I'm floating...

If you can't get a job and they think you're insane
If the years of your youth have been washed down the drain
And you wake up some mornin' with nothin' but pain
It was then I decided to grab me a plane

Floating I'm floating...

With all of my training it wasn't too tough
Now I'm through taking orders and all of their guff
Gonna buy a Rolls Royce and some luxury stuff
Cause a veteran's pension ain't nearly enough

Floating I'm floating... on down through the sky
Never had no ambition to learn how to fly
I'll be glad when it's over and ready to land
With this bag full of money I've got in my hand
If you can't get a job and they think you're insane
If the years of your youth have been washed down the drain
And you wake up some mornin' with nothin' but pain
It was then I decided to grab me a plane“

Singin’ the DB Cooper Blues


It was rainy, it was cold, it was dark, but he was bold.             C- Am
The night before Thanksgivin’, DB Cooper did a little skyjackin,’    F- G
After getting his cash and parachutes, he got his show on the road.
On a deserted runway down at Sea-Tac, he let his passengers go.


Refrain:
But, DB, DB, DB Cooper where did you go?
DB, DB, DB Cooper, a helluva lot of people sure wanna know.
DB, DB, DB Cooper can you give us a clue?
… vamp
The FBI’s officially closed the case, so, whaddaya say, Dude?


Bridge 1
Somewhere over Washington he put a chute on his back.       F-C
Then wrapped 200 Big Ones around him, tied in a sack          Em-Am
When DB Cooper jumped, he never looked back.                   F-C
And no one saw him go, - and folks that’s a fact!                     Em-G

Refrain:
DB, DB, DB Cooper where did you go?                    C-Am
DB, DB, DB Cooper, a helluva lot of people sure wanna know.     F-G
DB, DB, DB Cooper can you give us a clue?
None of the witnesses are talking, so, now we’re talkin’ to you!


Bridge 2
Nothing was found, nothing is known                     F-C
‘cept three bundles of money, found in Columbia River sand.      Em-Am   
(But) no one knows how it got there, and no one knows when      F-C
Lotsa mysteries baffling’ us investigatin’ men.                   Em-G

Refrain:
DB, DB, DB Cooper, where did you go?
DB, DB, DB Cooper, a lot of people sure wanna know.
DB, DB, DB Cooper, can you (at least) tell us your name?
C’mon buddy boy, you’re already in the skyjackers’ Hall of Fame.

Bridge 3:
Down in Portland you told Northwest that your name was “Dan”
The “DB” came from a mix-up between a TV reporter and a G-man.
So - DB, DB, DB Cooper, where did you go?
DB, DB, DB Cooper, a lot of people sure wanna know -


Bridge 4:
Besides those three bundolas, nothing’s been found               F-C
No body, no briefcase - no chutes or the bomb.             Em-Am   
The FBI has lost a ton of its evidence (so please tell us)            F-C
Is this part of a cover-up, or just governmental negligence?     Em-G

Refrain:
So, DB, DB, DB Cooper where did you go?                 C-Am
DB, DB, DB Cooper, a lot of people sure wanna know         F-G
DB, DB, DB Cooper, look here DB -                                C-Am
There’s a lot of missing pieces here, and…               F
… I’d SURE like to know.                              G-C

Note: I'll be able to post the melody once I can figure out how to download the software stuff from PreSonus so that their "audiobox USB 96" will actually work. Sigh.

MAC V SOG trooper JD Bath told me that Sgt. Ted Braden had told him that he, Braden, had fought with the 101st at Bastogne in WW II. Braden was also in Korea, as I understand his deployments, but with whom and what, I don't know. Author Drew Beeson might.

But I think it reasonable to consider the reference by The Byrds to be poetic license.

Confirming that Cliff Ammerman will be taking part in CC21.

Cliff is one person that I know many will be interested in hearing as he recounts his recollections from the night of the skyjacking given that he was handling 305, the F-106's and the T-33 from Seattle ATC at the time DBC jumped.

I’d like to suggest a dunk tank with Darren dressed as Cooper. He’d be a no-pull of course.

I will have the CC21 schedule out this coming week. As the date draws near, many new participants will be added to the various panels and meet-and-greets.

I know there was a question on another thread about selling tickets to CooperCon 2021.

There will be a ticket price attached to the two-day conference portion of CooperCon--not the social events each evening starting on Friday, November 19th. I believe it will be $20 for both days total. In other words, $20 gets you a ticket good for both days.

The tickets will be available online through Kiggins' website, I believe starting this week. Also, I'll be launching a website this week which will direct people to the Kiggins' ticket portal.

Tickets will also be available at the door as was the case in 2018, but I wouldn't recommend it. After all, I expect a full house this year given the significance of the 50-year anniversary and that there will be a significant amount of media attention focused on the event--I believe even from the UK and Australia.

This year's event is only the beginning. My plan is to grow this into an annual week-long festival every November that celebrates the legends of the Pacific Northwest including Big Foot and purported "Flying Saucer" activity in the region. That said, DBC will serve as the primary thrust of CooperCon going forward and is intended to provide an experience that is festive, fun and informative.

Fer gawds sake EU, don't bring the big foot and flying saucer nutcases into the Cooper investigation!  Leave them in their own world.  Big foot and flying saucers have been thoroughly investigated and proven false.  This is not to say that there are some animals and fish that have never been identified or that all flying objects have been explained to the general public.  But just leave the nutcases in their own world.
Nut cases?  Like the Navy pilot that took the Tic Tac footage and the Phoenix Lights that were witnessed by thousands on March 13, 1997 in Phoenix?  David Fraver is the Navy pilot.  Due some research on the matter before you call them nut cases.
