LISTENING TO THE RADIO WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS...ESPECIALLY ON A SUNDAY EVENING WHEN ALL OF MY FAVORITE SHOWS WOULD COME ON!
I remember spending hours listening to the radio...
Back in the 40' and 50's we had to use our imagination!
Remember ...NO TV or hand held games then!
Do you remember listening to some of these radio programs?
