I used to stay up late at night and tune in to KFOG, giggling to the Dr Demento show under my sheets.  I remember laying in my sleeping bag at night up in Yosemite, fascinated that I could tune in to AM stations as far away as Seattle or San Diego.  I remember placing my little radio next to my tape recorder, using the cassette deck&#8217;s built in mic to record my favorite songs.  I remember the cheap, half broken, held together with duct tape radio I had when I lived in Long Beach.  At the time, it was my only source of entertainment.  I used to place the radio in my window sill and listen to jazz.<\/p>\n<p>Yum plays with the new radio and remembers the good ol&#8217; days, before the world went and got itself in a big ol&#8217; hurry.<\/p>\n<p>I love this new little radio.
