3. I'd totally forgotten that was the First Edition

He didn't write it, though. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just_Dropped_In_%28To_See_What_Condition_My_Condition_Was_In%29

I well remember "Something's Burning" and "Tell It All, Brother," though; I had those on 45.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

4. ahhh --- 45's

[Oeditpus Rex]

5. I had 'Amos Moses' on 45, too

B side: "The Preacher and the Bear." :)

6. sounds like you had a helluva collection going --

I still have mine ... somewhere ...

[Oeditpus Rex]

7. Nah, not at all

I had maybe 30 45s.

Even now, my LP collection is maybe 100, and about 40 CDs.

I've always been a devoteé of radio. :)

[Tuesday Afternoon]

8. I like the radio --that is why my collection is all this weird off beat

stuff that they didn't get a lot of airplay. ;)

9. Confession:

"Radio Ga-Ga" always makes me mist up.

I know exactly how Freddie felt. :)

[Tuesday Afternoon]

10. awww....for some reason, I think that calls for a hug!

thanks for sharing :hug:

confessions are good for the soul and therefore hugworthy ;)

edited for a typo :D

11. I had a thing with radio starting when I was about 13

I had a real nice four-band radio (two short-wave bands), and some nights, real late, I'd slowly tune the AM band to see what stations I could pick up.

Depending on sunspot activity, it was pretty amazing how far away I could grab 'em. :)

12. night time radio was the best ...

I liked to listen to baseball on the radio. Got that from my Granma, she would watch it on TV and still have the radio tuned in to the game because she liked the radio's announcers better :D

[Oeditpus Rex]

13. I do the same thing

Radio guys "paint a word picture." Teevee guys explain what you're seeing — unless they're Tim McWhorever, in which case they make it sound like Chinese line dancing.

The best thing you can say about a baseball teevee announcer is he knows when to shut up. That tells you something about the craft.

I'd have no problem at all — in fact, I'd prefer to watch teevee games with no announcers, just a few necessary graphics and lots of ambient sound. The crack of the bat. The smack of the glove. The crowd.

It'd be more like being there. :)
