Imagine what's being played on those car radios. I like to imagine everything from, The Five Keys to Hank Williams, Little Richard, B.B. King, The Crows, Flamingos, Elvis Presley, Del-Vikings, El Dorados, Wynonie Harris, Johnny Cash, Etta James, Hank Ballard & The Midnighters, The Chords, Moonglows, Everly Brothers... Man, all that truly wonderful music..being played in this atmosphere, on those old AM car radios. If I could go back in time.. this is where I'd be. And of course, you know what I'd be doing.. I'd be on the air at the local AM (they didn't have FM or Stereo radio back then), spinning those original 45s! Rock & Roll, Rhythm & Blues, Doo Wop, Country & Western, Be Bop.. walk down to the soda fountain for a Cherry Coke. Friday and Saturday nights.. kids cruisin' the streets.. listening to the radio.. stop by the drive-in for a burger basket.. others at the drive-in theatre on the outskirts of town. Maybe a Humphrey Bogart or James Cagney double feature for the older crowd.. maybe John Wayne. For the younger set.. James Dean in 'The Wild One' backed with 'Rebel Without A Cause'! Then on Sunday morning, everyone is in a peaceful, solemn atmosphere.. the sound of birds singing, church bells.. everyone getting ready for church. Maybe a picnic afterward... Peace, serenity and contentment.
