Listening to the radio

We heard a show on the radio yesterday that talked about the old radio jingles and I enjoyed listening to the old jingles that I remember from when I was a kid..  Now they  just use something called sweepers in between songs. When I was in the sixth grade, I had a teacher who loved old radio shows and would play them for us on Fridays,  if we had all of our work done.  Back in the day, the radio and reading and story telling gave children plenty of opportunities to use their imaginations. People don't  use radios, read or tell stories much  today.

Mark and I use the radio a lot when we travel. We listen to several sermons on Sundays,  when we can not find a church to go to.  We  listen to a game show called,"wait wait don't tell me" on Saturdays. It was fun listening to the country song "fly over states" while driving through those states.  Mark loves all kinds of music and loves to  try to get me to name that song or   name that singer.  I get it wrong about 80% of the time.  Most of the time if I don't know,  I guess James Taylor.  That way I am right some of the time.
On this trip, Mark has found several stations playing classical music,  which is perfect for chilling him out while driving  and for me to memorize scripture.
