Nostalgic RadioFond Memories Of The Golden Age Of Radio And The Stars Of Vintage RadioNostalgic radio brings back 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 programs entertained us in a fashion that television cannot. The dialogue, music, and sound effects in those vintage radio programs relied on our imaginations to create the scene, and it was always more colorful and detailed than any televised image could hope to be. The old time radio broadcasts 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 Dad asking him one day, "Percy, what are you whittling?" Without batting an eye, old Mr. Price replied offhandedly, "Spare parts for Charlie McCarthy." We all laughed. Other favorite old time radio comedy programs were "Our Miss Brooks" starring Eve Arden, "The Great Gildersleeve" (one of my favorites) starring Harold Peary, and, of course, "Fibber McGee and Molly" starring the husband and wife team of Jim and Marian Jordan. Who could ever forget Fibber McGee's hall closet? Fibber McGee's closet gag was never as funny on TV as it was on the vintage radio program. Your imagination worked overtime on old time radio! I often feel that today's entertainment leaves too little to the imagination. Remembering Nostalgic RadioDo you love The Golden Age of Radio?
