I was 10 and he was 7 at the time. I fell down an entire flight of stairs and as I laid at the bottom of the steps, stunned and crying, he said "Is your radio ok"! It was and so was I.timleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05510643821460428226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163426791486061330.post-30158679767917799702010-07-01T21:23:50.740-04:002010-07-01T21:23:50.740-04:00I distinctly remember our family's first trans...I distinctly remember our family's first transistor radio, a darling red leather thing that we just had to have after hearing one on the streets of Oakland when we were visiting my grandmother. I wish it had been one of the items that came through the years saved by my mother, but sadly it's only a memory. <br /><br />Thanks for friending me at Blogcatalog so I could find your blog. A real hippie...fantastic. I was a quasi-hippie, in that I didn't travel the country or go to Woodstock, etc. But I did protest Vietnam and, ahem.....very much enjoyed the plants and fungi of the times.Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11135393270656573516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163426791486061330.post-33029559887248300172010-06-13T10:42:06.157-04:002010-06-13T10:42:06.157-04:00Transistors were the thing when I was a teenager.....Transistors were the thing when I was a teenager...although I did miss looking into the back of our old valve radio and seeing the valves light up and the warm smell of dust.<br /><br />Then I bought my first cassette player.<br /><br />xhsoulMerlinhttp://www.soulmerlin-borderlines.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163426791486061330.post-77770346885156777322010-06-10T16:45:20.930-04:002010-06-10T16:45:20.930-04:00Great posting! This End of the Boomers Birth Range...Great posting! This End of the Boomers Birth Range woman finally got an MP3 player - with AM and FM radio - yesterday for her birthday (yeah, like finally!). I didn't want one until it had both AM and FM. Otherwise, what's the point, right? This led me to research old time transistor radios and try to find the ugly old turquoise Candle 8 which my dad gave me way back in the 1960s. My first radio! With a black leather case! Loved that thing so much. I still love radio and think it's THE medium.SF Michelenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163426791486061330.post-68506969567863771692010-06-09T17:49:58.266-04:002010-06-09T17:49:58.266-04:00That's just what I did--rode my bike and liste...That's just what I did--rode my bike and listened to my transistor radio--all day! How amazing it was to have a radio you could carry with you--one that didn't need to be plugged into the wall!Timoteohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08351410966396854582noreply@blogger.com
