Marty here is a poem I wrote in Oct 1995 It has been published ; Watch The Radio No TV when we were kids Lone Ranger was the thing Green Hornet and the Shadow On radio were kings We went to places every night We never thought we'd go Yes, we would sit and listen And watch the radio I don't know why we watched it To look back makes me smile There wasn't any thing to see Except the lit up dial I guess perhaps we sat real close To make sure we could hear The old tubes faded in and out It wasn't always clear But even after all this time I still don't really know Why,every time we listened We'd watch the Radio. written by Carol Walsh Oct,1995 published by the National Library of Poetry. ----- Original Message ----- From: "triconews" <triconews@irtc.net> To: <ILJERSEY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, June 13, 2004 12:27 PM Subject: [ILJersey] Watching the Radio > Hi folks.
