The golden age of radio!!! I have a few tapes from that era that I like to
listen to and have very fond rememberances of listening to the green hornet
radio show back in the 70s when a local station used to play them during a
certain hour.

I wish I could get ahold of about ten or thirty CDs full of that stuff. I
would be in serious hog heaven falling asleep while listening to people like
Gracie Allen talking about her relatives or Abbot and Costello bitching at
each other.
