Share Fond Memories Of The Golden Days Of Radio And Its Stars

Radio nostalgia brings fond memories. One of my fondest childhood memories is sitting in font of our old console radio with my Grannie Bell and listening to the zany antics of Amos 'n' Andy.

At times, we'd laugh till we almost cried. The old time radio broadcasts entertained us in a fashion that television cannot. The dialogue, music, and sound effects in those early broadcasts relied on our imagination to create the scene, and it was always more colorful and detailed than any televised image could hope to be.

The old time radio shows were often the talk of the neighborhood and were truly part of the culture of their day. An elderly farmer in our area loved to take out his pocket knife and whittle during his idle moments. I recall my Dad asking him one day, "Percy, what are you whittling?" Without batting an eye, old Mr. Price replied, "Spare parts for Charlie McCarthy." Oh, how we all laughed.

Other favorite radio comedy programs were Our Miss Brooks starring Eve Arden, The Great Gildersleeve starring Harold Peary, and Fibber McGee and Molly starring Jim and Marian Jordan.

And who could ever forget Fibber McGee's hall closet?
