I am51 years old: a little young to know the great days of radio, but I heard my mother talk about it a lot. Of course I've heard a few tapes in my past, and nostalgia programs. But a couple of years ago I bought a set of Jack Benny programs on MP3.

Well, suddenly long car trips weren't so tedious; around the house I wasn't glued to the TV, and there was a lot more laughter everywhere! I've collected a few other programs since then, and have developed a deep appreciation of this very important part of American culture. Also, I appreciate getting some really good entertainment without offensive and insulting language.
Here in Iraq, these things have been practically a lifesaver. Time sometimes hangs a little heavy, but then you just put on Jack, Command Performance, Eddie Cantor, Amos & Andy, Groucho Marx or Paladin to choose from.
So, many regards to other old-time aficionados, and thanks for what you do to preserve this part of Americana.
