 Back
in 1964 my father refused to put a television set
in the house. I don't ever remember having one until
the next door neighbor gave us their old one, after
they bought a new one. Before that all we had for
entertainment was a old large radio. Not long after
getting that new fanged TV my father put the old huge
radio that we had sitting in the living room out to
the curb for trash pickup. Before he even walked back
into the house, a car driving by screeched to a halt
and could not believe my dad was throwing out that
old radio! I only remember it seemed taller than I
was and for sure it out weighed me, had lots of buttons
and a bright dial! I can still see it in my mind but
have never seen one in the old catalogs.
Well that
was the last time I ever listened to WXYZ radio and
Old Time Radio until I rediscovered Old Time Radio
in the mid 1990.
Over
the years I spent a lot of time on the road driving
and began listening to OTR on tapes. But tapes were
so expensive! My wife would buy me a pack of six and
before the day was out, I would be have listen to
the whole pack.
