The other radio


This radio is mine, too, but my hubby loves it out on the patio so he can listen to Oldies on it while contemplating life and what he might do next after he finishes his beer. Wonder what the tape that is in it might be. Project dead of night is about to begin....the tape is "The Best of Italian Opera"...not so much hubby's.

Project black-Day 3




This little radio has been with me for more than 35 years. It has been there for listening, for taking with me to the school while waiting to pick up kids so I could hear the last of my soap, and it has entertained me with everything from country western to opera while I painted innumerable rooms over the years (you can see little paint flecks on the front of it), and it has been there to tell me just how bad the weather really is during a storm. It has a NOAA weather radio switch on it. This was truly one of the coolest portable radios, ever and it entertained me many nights when there was nothing on tv....before cable. It has a TV band, AM and FM music band, and public band. I used to could listen to police calls on it. I hadn't really thought about how old it was until last year someone noticed it in my office and commented on how they used to have one like it AGES ago. Oh my...everything I use is getting to be antique.
