thanks and sorry I misunderstood your question. I am edgy from the 21st century, I guess. My life experiences are ever more a thing of feeling out of place, and obsolete. Nostalgia is likely a terrible thing, but also perfectly normal and somehow warranted by how people around us have chosen to re order their lives. When radio and film were new almost a century ago, I do not think it led to the degree of selfishness and isolation that have become the norm today. On the other hand, I can share my collection with others, which was not possible before. This being said, I am not always sure that the sharing betters all concerned, granted the response of many via the internet as had here elsewhere today.
In any case, happy radios and keep up your resistance to the ephemeral and unsubstantial of our virtual culture. Likely the latter will be a golden age to someone of tender age today, once seven decades hence the seas have risen, the crops have given out, humankind is lashed by fire, wind and torrents of rain in the greenhouse gases, and a theocratic and military dictatorship reigns over a suffering world that will make Orwell's world look like Sunnybrook farm. I will keep my foetid woolens.
No Problem. Thanks Friedrich-Berthold, happy collecting, and take care..and if you get anything new, I would like to see it, I still have some more things to post, from my collection (sigh), lots of things to do. (TK is still learning). And thanks for the Great Pics!
Thanks TK

Thanks for yours. I am working two deals, but they take time. I shall reveal the results in the fullness of time. Happy collecting to you.
Once in my life I had time for radio dramas and the pleasure of a story unfolding. It is hard to recall having such a luxury of time and good humor, really.
Now one has the sophomoric high jinx of cap badge collectors with a bad attitude and no time at all, bombarded as we are by nonsense.
Read Booth Tarkington's [I]Magnificent Ambersons[/I ] in this regard. It is nearly a century old, but no less germane to our own world.
Wells made a movie of it, which was a flop, but it is also a great film.
I'll take a look at it, oh I forgot to tell you my favorite movie is the Wizard of Oz. If thats weird.

Nineteen thirty nine gave rise to many wonderful movies.
