Administrators Eric Posted April 1, 2021 Administrators Share Posted April 1, 2021 2 hours ago, Mrs.Cicero said: When I was young, we had a big green GMC van (this is the 70s), and I'd lie on the floor under the first passenger seat and my brother would lie on the seat. I'd stick my hand out from under the seat and he'd press a finger to change the radio station - I was the radio, and I'd be singing a song, and he'd change the station and I'd have to start another song... then he'd go back to the first station and I'd pick up the song I'd been singing right where I left off... which amused my mother (because I was keeping track of the five songs each of my finger stations played, and where I was in each one, no matter how fast the stations got changed), and drove my dad nuts (probably because when he'd tell my brother to change a station, it was because he really didn't want to hear any of that song anymore!). I’d play music too. All you had to do was pull my finger. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Town found strong signals and locked on. Country found weaker signals and locked on. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
