Remember when?

[robb_k]

And when adult came over, us kids had to be quickly herded to the backrooms. All doors were closed and locked. And you better not even think about coming up front! You shoulda eat beforehand!! And you voice bet not be heard out of your room. No gaming, Internet, cellphones, or 99 inch Surround Sound 5K Viewing Stations[[TV set) in the late 60s-70s!! Many a kid perished from sheer boredom.

Back in the late 1940s and early 1950s we had not only none of that, but also no TV, and no portable, or even small radios. All we had was a large radio console in the living room, with a record player [[old Victrola style, for 78s), and comic books, and board games, and cards. Amazing how life has changed!

Same for me during that time period. But we did have a small cathedral radio in kitchen, mostly for news and music. TV existed, but not in our home. I watched Horn & Hardart Children's Hour every Sunday on TV in the apartment downstairs.

But I have no regrets. Others my age, have no memories of radio. They had a tv. I remember sitting in parlor with my family listening to the last remnants of radio shows such as Baby Snooks, The Shadow, Lone Ranger, etc. Great memories
