Tune In

Imagine a time when radios were pieces of furniture and entertainment was a family affair. I wonder what music and shows this beauty provided.

And we all chatted at the dinner table instead of staring into smartphones and ipads!

Great looking radio! I imagine that the family gathered around it to listen together.

@gigiflower Yes, and we were all at the dinner table each night!

And also who was sitting in front of this listening.

Old school. I wish I lived during that sweeter time. Romantic in ways, but then there was WWII and such.

I don!t have to imagine, I remember a few of them. Inner Sanctum, Cowboy shows like Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, Lone Ranger. Mysteries like The Shadow., Orsen Wells, The thin Man, Boston Blackie. Comedies like Ozzie &Harriet, Burns & Allen, Jack Benny , Martin & Lewis. Some of the music shows included Spikr Jones, Frank Sinetra, Your Hit Parade and The original Amature Hour. There were so many others plus news, weather and sports. Baseball was a big thing on radio. That is how the world stayed informed. Yes we played outside all day long using our imaginations. We didn't sit glued to TV even when they did come on the market. We got together with family and friends. No internet the probably wasn't even a twinkle in anybody's eye. Very few women worked until the war then went back to their homes after and the men came home and went back to work as the bread winners. Life was definately different then.

@janiskay I'm with you on not needing to imagine. I never was as frightened by a movie as I was by some of the radio horror stories, but I loved them.

I love it, the shape, the colour everything. FAV
August 28th, 2015  
Great shot.

great capture, we used to listen to Workers Playtime on something very similar, an old radio banished to the potting shed. It kept us amused through hours of prickling out seedlings.

@pandorasecho I know what you mean.
August 28th, 2015  
A beauty indeed, and a beautiful capture--I love the wood grains, and your crop is great. Fav.

I prefer this old fashioned radio to our 'television combi radio'.

I like your shot. I think life was simpler then! And not too many choices....
