Yesterday I talked about the transistor radio I had when I was a kid. Usually, I put this radio to use when I was doing laundry on Saturdays. It was just me and the wringer washer down there in the basement, so I could listen to whatever I wanted. Usually it was a Top-40 station. One song I really liked was "Brandy (You're A Fine Girl)", by the band Looking Glass. Listen to it HERE.
Sometimes at night I would see what faraway stations the radio could pick up. Little Rock, Arkansas, was always there, and sometimes WGN, Chicago. At times, I could hear a foreign language station, but I never figured out where it was coming from.
I'm sure many, many people recall having a transistor radio back in the 60's and 70's. It was a fun time for me and my trusty transistor, that's for certain.
Have a great day!
Remember something fun from your childhood.

I did not have a transistor radio, but my brother did. He went to sleep listening to it every night. But I listened to a radio that was in the kitchen, and can remember sitting there at night trying to get radio stations...WGN was one I got and there were two or three more 'favorites' but for the life of my I cannot remember where they were from. It was really something when FM radio became normal.
Oh, yes, I remember, too, when FM came on the air. It sounded so much better than AM, better tone and less static. Thanks for mentioning that.
I had a radio and I would put it under my pillow and listen to WLS in Chicago or The Little Rock Station too! I love all those old songs:)
