I forgot about this one earlier in the week

In another "Gawd, I feel so old moment", I remember when this song was new and played on AM radio. Yes young pups, there was no FM radio where I lived. And we had a black-and-white TV with 4 channels. And they went off the air by 1:00 AM.  Oh, the humanity!!!

I was 13-14 before we got a color TV....I was so excited I stayed inside and even watched Soap Operas all afternoon.

All the local AM stations around us went off the air at night or you couldn't pick them up after sundown because they reduced their power so all of us had to change the channel to WLS out of Chicago.

Not to mention the F Layer of the ionosphere (why the power must be reduced at nightfall) and/or scattered E Layer.

In a previous life I analyzed vertical and oblique ionosounds to determine operating frequency/frequencies of a certain device.

Govspeak for Sigint weinie?

I had an battery AM transistor radio (that's what it was called)  that I used to listen to at night to go to sleep to. I listed to the clear channel AM stations after the local ones went off the air.  I listened to WLAC (R&B music), WWL? [I think this was station] (had a blues and delta blues segments), and WLS (Top 40). I listened to a lot of the music that all 1950s and 1960s Rock and Roll developed from. So when Rock & Roll blossomed in 1960s, I knew where it came from.

LOL..... on a trawler in the Bering Strait.

Isn't that the station that had the DJ named Wolf with the deep gravely voice? In Louisiana, you could pick it up late at night. Love, love, love blues. :thumbup:

Hush !  you feel old I was 13 before we had our first TV and a movie was only 10 cents to get in then !   :old: :old:  turn this into an old woman  :)
