It's not just an age thing. I love old radio shows; they're the perfect
combination of being passively entertained and using your imagination.

If you're not familiar with this site, they have free MP3s you can
listen to. They have a fair number of shows, but not many episodes of
each. And no Jack Benny, who's my favorite: http://www.radiolovers.com/

If you like, I'd be happy to send you a list of the public domain shows
I have; I'd be happy to mail copies of anything you want.

You can still find 78 players in thrift stores. A lot of them have
electronics that are so out of date they sell them in the home decor
section rather than electronics, but I still see them. I'm lucky to
have a record player that plays 33s, 45s, 78s, 6", 10" and 12".

Nothing under copyright of course though it is legal to give a copy
away.
Its awfully difficult to find.
My mother was in the antique business for years and has a huge
collection of 78s in mint condition and an old wind up Victorola also
in mint condition.

The incomparable Andy Williams with very young Osmonds including five

Sort of made my night.

In the eye of one beholder anyway :)

Two actually..counting me :-)

Make that three. I really appreciate the talent the kids
show in this piece. The discipline demonstrated in the
beautiful tones and and tight harmony are very impressive
for people of any age. But when you think how young most of
the performers are, it is quite remarkable.

Too light for some I think.
But I agree.

BTW, my old record collection is growing. i got the 3
record box set of the Sons of the Pioneers in essentially
mint condition.

Where did you find that?
I wish I had everything they ever did.
I've been listening to them today on YouTube.
Search YouTube for dalrockRD.
He uploads some pretty good older stuff including Roy Rogers and Sons
of the Pioneers.
One was Pecos Bill which I haven't heard in years.

Gawd I've had such a good life.
I came out of the nineteenth century <Living conditions> into the
twentieth and now here I am in the twenty-first.
Dang I'm getting old :-)
I went to bed one night at twenty-three, woke up the next morning and
I was fifty-nine.
Now how the hell did that happen? ;-)
But you know, I still idolize Roy Rogers.
A lot of people do.
Even some of the younger folks.
We all thought he and Dale were singing Happy Trails just to us.
And maybe its just the mood I'm in, or maybe my age but this sort of
choked me up a bit.

I enjoy old Roy Rogers and Gene Autry movies, but
my favorites will always be Hopalong Cassidy and
Bob Steel. I've started collecting DVDs of both.
Hoppy has finally come out on DVD at a decent price
and there are zillions of Bob Steel movies I've never
seen that are now out on DVD. Hoppy and the
little guy are my faves. Check out Oldies.com and
DeepDiscount.com.And, for old radio shows at great
prices on cd check out: www.otrcat.com

You are so fucking lame.

***** off wankstain.

Heh...I don't think he likes me :-)

Oh dear. I mean, I personally think the Osmonds are an abomination, but I
would NEVER dream of insulting YOU just because you like them.

Actually the guy is so irrelevant that from him a lame attempt at
insult isn't the least bit insulting.

And I still liked the bear on the Andy Williams show, so there! :)

Lol!
I swear, I don't remember a bear :-)
