It was 1958 and I was in 3rd grade when I got a case of mononucleosis so intense I had to go to the hospital. My dad was a doctor studying space medicine at Lackland Air Force base in San Antonio, Texas. He was embarrassed because my condition was serious enough to hospitalize me so he bought me a Japanese AM transistor radio. It was cream colored with a single earplug and no speaker. I heard Ray Charles, Marty Robbins, Buddy Holley; listened to Amos ‘n’ Andy, Fibber Magee & Molly. In essence, if I was awake, I was listening, for three or four days. 60 years ago. I never listened to that radio again after I got out of the hospital but I haven't stopped listening and playing music since and my rigs have gotten considerably more sophisticated since. Life is good...
