AM Radio Memories.

[JohnMichael]

Smokey such memories. Me and my 9 volt transistor radio tuned to WLS in Chicago making it's way to small town Ohio. All the local stations would have signed off and the distant ones could come through. Radio shows such as Dick Biondi and friends would interview current artists. I felt like I was eavesdropping into others lives and a cool big city. That little radio would help me escape the small town until I fell asleep or the battery died. A five dollar radio could entertain for hours and introduce me to a new world.

...listening to Jean Shepard* on 710 WOR out of NYC from 10:15 to 11:00 every night except Sundays.

Also, being this state always depended in it's shore for entertainment, the music coverage from Palisades Park (OK, technically it's an amusement park) and the other shore areas would blossem every summer with live broadcasts and promotions. ...and when the Beatles arrived in NYV, etc.
