I guess I am young as dirt. What is radio?

Peace

Believe it or not, Rut, I used to work in radio. No, not in a radio, but at a radio station. I did news and sports. I did play by play of HS football and basketball, college basketball and hockey plus semi-pro baseball. It was incredible. I don't think there is a more fun job in all the world, except for my present job as a creamed-corn wrestling promoter.

Although I never heard The Shadow live on radio, I used to own some audio tapes of old radio shows and had a few of those. Cranston had the power to "cloud men's minds" and have them do his bidding - kind of like Obiwan Kenobe.

I gave most of the tapes to the local library, but gave the Superman and Batman show tapes to my grandson, Tyler. He listens to them in bed at night before he goes to sleep. He says they are "way cool." He is seven and will someday play in the NBA. He has played organized basketball since he was five and can already dribble behind his back. On his team's picture sportscards, he lists his position as "power forward."

BTW - years ago, I invested in a new invention - color radio. It did about as well as my dacron farm and my Big and Tall men's shop in downtown Tokyo.
