Berny, you into OTR these days by any chance? That is, do you collect shows at all, or just relish the memories? Excuse my curiosity... |

Just the memories. With living and growing up on a farm, there wasn't much to do at night except listen to the radio. Up untill 1957 BC (before computers) when my parents got a TV, our only form of entertainment was the radio. The ones I mention before, plus Dick Tracy, Our miss Brooks, Uncle Milton, and so many more.
After we got a TV, a lot of what we watched was from the old radio shows. A few new one came along. Raw Hide, The Wonderful World of Color (forerunner of WW of Disney), The Pondarosa (with Ben, Adam, Hoss, and Little Joe), which were all quality shows. None of the car chasing, kick boxing, excssive profanity, sexual content, bloody scenes stuff you see now on TV.
Maybe that is why that era is refered to as the "Golden Age of Radio". I can't go back, but I sure have my memories.
