AM radios . . . FM was still in its infancy when I was growing up. Most folks were still tuning into AM stations.

That one got me thinking... because I know FM mono was invented before WWII and stereo in the 50s... and Ive got some 50s and 60s vintage stereo gear with FM dials.

I went and looked it up on Wikipedia and it seems that FM stations didnt outnumber AM until 1978.. wow would have though it a lot earlier.

Dad was our Borden milkman. Loved riding with him because lunch was a pack of cheese crackers and a bottle, yep little bottle, of chocolate milk eaten in the truck.

The Dixettes Birthday is July 20 ... always a mention around here.

I was up at my fathers in Bennington, Vermont camping outside of the house, with an extension cord and an extra antenna wire running out to a portable TV so we could watch it outside under the stars. I was 11. It was an awesome summer, to say the least !

So sorry I missed your birthday. So, Happy birthday a little late.


I remember the day very well and watched it on our black & white tv set. Kids were young then (5 & 6). Work was steady and had just received a promotion. Life was good. Still is.
 
I was in Bothel, WA the day Elvis died, installing instant heating system in new suburban boxes and hating it. I walked off the job that day and never went back. Got a speeding ticket on the way back home too.
 
Such an unassuming man, for what he did.

I also remember it was the summer of Charles Manson.
