OTR Sampler: Early 1950s (Part 1)

[@bobdillaber1195]

I was 11 in 1950. We lived in Minneapolis in those days didn't have a TV until 3 years later. I loved the radio programs! Many evenings and after lunch on Sundays I would go into my bedroom, close the door and listen to program after program. I just loved getting lost in those programs. Fond memories of the real thing.

I was 7 in 1950. We didn't have a TV till 1955, a used console with a small round screen. There was a switch to square off top and bottom with still round sides. An old Zenith. I was a fan of old radio and still am. It is great entertainment with no eye strain!

Great channel and I LOVE your BANNER photo! Wonderful classic radio. I feel like I am listening to "Prairie Home Companion." Many thanks for sharing! Liked and CONNECTED!

Old is indeed best! When I was 10 years old, my father and I drove past the Illinois home of Marion and Jim Jordan; AKA: Fibber McGee & Molly! My father explained to me who they were and all about their popular World War Two radio program. After returning home, I ordered their show and have been listening to the wonderful world of OTR ever since, I'm in my 60s now.

I agree with you. Just as the P-51 Mustang and the Spitfire represented the zenith of propeller planes, early '50s radio represented the height of radio production. Soon each would be replaced (by jets and television, respectively).
