Quote from: "ELPHUPPHY"Oh God.. The last 10 songs poasted, I can sing along to and remember every word.



Wow.. I am old, old, old.





On the bright side, not as old as Peaches!


I remember the words too and I'm not that old, at least I used to think so before a few days ago. :mad:



The difference is, you probably remember when those songs were released. It must have been kind of an exciting time.  ac_smile


I remember listening to them on AM radio out of Detroit. It was a monumental revelation when I got an AM/FM converter for my first car and discovered the world of FM radio.


Wow AM radio. :laugh3: I have some very early memories of WABC in NY but it was long past it's heyday and mostly talk radio.


LOL.. yeah, when I was but a child growing up, I could listen to the radio in my room. AM radio was all I could get.. FM radio was always pretty staticy and mostly useless. Ahh, the good old days. I used to go to a nearby radio station and hang out, watching the DJ play records thru a big plate-glass window. WSPD in Toledo, I think it was.


I guessing it was a transistor radio.  :laugh3:



My dad had and may still have one in laying around the garage. I remember he used to have it on when he would be working on one of the classic junkers he would pick up now and then. It was a big square thing with a big tuner knob and extendable chrome antenna AND a removable brown leather cover. :smiley_thumbs_up_yellow_ani:



As a kid I didn't think much of it....it was just a radio. But when I look back and compare it to what we have today. It was barely one step above 2 Dixie cups and a string. :laugh3:


It WAS a transistor radio.. Built into the body of a small roulette table. Our TV, by the way, was black and white nad run by tubes. Old style for sure.
