Let's Go Back To Those Thrilling Days Of Yesteryear!

Those grand old days of radio. Where everyone gathered around the great big radio and delighted to the sounds of "The Lone Ranger", "The Aldrich Family", "Jack Benny". I was too young to participate in those rituals, but I have heard all about them from my mother. I have listened to episode after episode of Arch Obler's "Light's Out Everyone". Many of these old time radio shows are available to listen to on CD or tape. Do a google search on "old time radio" and you will finds tons of spots to purchase them. There are still some programs on the radio that feature these gems of yesterday.

Should these programs be revived? I think so. I think new versions of the old programs would be great to listen to. It would be the re-invention of the "Theater of the Mind". Listen to one of the old shows and see what happens. Your mind is opened up to envision what you hear going on. What better way to spark the imagination of our youth. What a novelty, a family night sitting around and listening to the radio munching on a bowl of popcorn and laughing together. Isn't this a better way of life than having your son in his room playing "Grand Theft Auto", your daughter talking on her cell phone and you and your spouse plopped in front of the TV watching some reality show.

Try it one night a week for an hour and see the difference.
