So many nights spent as a kid with my family with the lights out just watching the dial light on the radio listening to one show after another. 

The radio had a slight hum from the transformer, the pilot light was yellow and seemed to radiate warmth.  The connection to your family gathered with you was amazing.

Mr. Keane, The tracer of lost persons, The Squeaking Door, Sam Spade, Sargent Bilko (The Phil Silvers Show), Amos and Andy, so many others.

People have asked me, "What did you do while listening to the radio?".

 We listened to the story and our minds provided the picture, we simply looked at the radio without seeing it.  To the listener, it was like you were in the station audience watching the actors go through their lines in front of the big floor mic.

It was a glorious time to be alive.
