    Its kind of funny because John Amos( James) and Jimmy Walker was not too far apart in age. But because he was so small he played john's son. He looked much younger. People Truly don't know what a legend that Mr. Walker is. He had Jay Leno, David Brenner, and even David Letterman working for him. They all said that he helped their careers.

    This is legendary. I'm an 89 baby, but grew up on all of the older shows and STILL watch them REGULARLY. Raising my cub on the same 🤎

    Good times 🎶 🎵
    Any time you meet a payment
    Good times🎶 🎵
    Any time you meet a friend
    Good times🎶 🎵
    Any time you're out from under
    Not getting hassled, not getting hustled
    Keepin' your head above water
    Making a wave when you can
    Temporary layoffs
    Good times🎶 🎵
    Easy credit rip-offs
    Good times🎶 🎵
    Scratchin' and surviving
    Good times🎶 🎵
    Hanging in and jiving
    Good times🎶 🎵
    Ain't we lucky we got 'em
    Good times music 🎶 🎵

      This song is so true today. When you are able to makes your payments every month is a blessing. Good times to me come from being able to take care of family, myself, and still celebrating life.
