\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Radio Days<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

For better times and better ways,<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I started thinking of radio days.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I remember those good old times.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

You got food, drink, maybe some wine.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Then the family gathered around the radio.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Just to hear your favorite shows.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

There were comedies like Amos\u00a0‘n’ Andy.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Abbot & Costello were really dandy.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Westerns like The Lone Ranger.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Gunsmoke and \u00a0other dangers.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Mysteries, like The Shadow Knows.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Ever wonder where The Shadow goes?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

There was Dragnet and Gang Busters.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Buzz Cory and The Space Patrol.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Inner Sanctum and other shows.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

There were many, many more.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

We often sat around on the floor.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes, we enjoyed these family times.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Most of the shows were just fine.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Quite a different activity from today.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

But then, we were different in every way.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Things back then were easy going.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The shows we heard left little showing. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Not the fast paced rush of today.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

There was lots more time to play.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

To each his own as to what they like.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

But, I\u2019ll take the old days. They were all right.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
