I have not listened to a radio station in years. Some of that is attributable to the iPod and the iPhone and some to the decline of local radio. But as a teenager in the 60s, radio was a huge part of my life. Great memories of WLS in Chicago and, later, WWL in New Orleans.

How familiar that radio dial with its five pre-set buttons. If your station wasn’t good enough to get one of the buttons, well, that car wasn’t listening.

The video clip above is from the pickup I recently purchased. Hadn’t bothered to turn the radio on and wondered if it worked. Don’t imagine I’ll do much listening in the truck but I kind of like having it there. For old time’s sake.
