| 1441226 | 2017-10-28 08:14:00 | Same here Roscoe. Lived on a farm and the radio was going non stop. Aunt Daisy was well remembered.! Bought my first radio, a La Gloria , car/portable with a bracket to fit it in the car. Metal case and clear sharp sound. Held 6 c type batteries, rather expensive back then. Still got it, can't part with it. Heck, that's going back 60 years ago. :-) :-) | BobM (1138) | ||
| 1441227 | 2017-10-28 08:24:00 | talk back or Radio NZ. I often had Garage TV on my surround sound as I loved the music but that's gone now like Alt TV A little story about “Dork Back Radio”. A good mate of mine loved his “Dork Back Radio” and upon his death his widow asked me to arrange some music for the service. Now this was a bit awkward, because he was a CCR and Dr Hook type Muso, so I asked his brother for advice. Oh that’s simple came the reply. Just put on Leighton Smith. :eek: But it got worse. Being in a complete quandary I thought I’d best check with the Undertaker as to just where the boundaries were on this matter. Having explained my predicament to the Undertaker he responded that the service was a “Celebration of the person’s life” and any music would be fine. The other day he had had a Coffin carried out to “Another One Bites the Dust” (Queen). :eek: What is the world coming to? :confused: |

| 1441228 | 2017-10-28 08:35:00 | I listen to to Coast radio. At work it goes thru a Bluetooth speaker from my fone. Bit of hijacking of Bluetooth pairing goes on as we have people young to old(me). I have had some head banging music playing thru mine. Got them back they have to listen to Merlin engine noises form Spitfire/Hurricane flypast and one with a continually recorded Stuka dive bomb siren. What really gets them going is Dolly Parton, ONJ, John Denver etc. I wouldnt play Barry Manilow, Slim Dusty or Kamalh too mean they would lose the plot. | prefect (6291) | ||

Some guys have had the balls to play this www.youtube.com On their wedding day . :lol::lol: I get "THE LOOK" :stare::stare: from SWMBO if I play it and start humming or singing along. :lol: |

| 1441230 | 2017-11-06 00:32:00 | All kinds of music I listen on Radio, but wish they had music hosts like Casey Kasem (en.wikipedia.org) (American Top 40) whom I listened plenty times during the '70's. Some recordings of Casey online (www.mixcloud.com), including from 1975... | kahawai chaser (3545) | ||
| 1441231 | 2017-11-06 19:42:00 | Husband is a radio person . ZB too, ugh . I used to occasionally listen to BFM but this car hasn't got one, not really keen on buying one, mostly I find them an annoying distraction in cars . At home, husband does tune in now and then, but then he doesn't go online, I do . I prefer online, GD likes music in the car, at home, never, she'd be online too . |

| 1441232 | 2017-11-12 23:12:00 | Radio . Mainly RNZNAtional (formerly RadioNZ . Music, In depth interviews and news . In weekend afternoons when I am travelling on a bus I regularly listen to Veitch on Sport on 1ZB . Too much of TV is "reality" and skittish . e . g . . "Tokyo was bombed by a nuclear missile today . Now back to The Bachelor" |

| 1441233 | 2017-11-13 02:38:00 | Like a lot of people of my era, I grew up listening to the radio. When I was home sick from school I often heard the morning serial on 2ZB "Doctor Paul, a story of Adolf Love". It puzzled me a bit, who was Adolf Love? He never featured in any episode I heard. Years later I realised it wasn't Adolf at all! Another one was "Portia Faces Life" and I never got that one either. Even if several months elapsed between the episodes I heard nothing seemed to happen, but Portia still seemed to be having some sort of problem. In the evenings "Dr Kildare" (pre-TV) was much more fun, with a chance of real blood and guts. |

| 1441235 | 2017-11-14 02:08:00 | I live on the North Shore and listen to Wairau FM Radio owned by Jim Wolf. It is a low powered station with a limited range. Plays music ranging from the 20's to the 70's, non stop 24/7. No adverts, other than old ones "bringing back a memory". Frequency's 96.4 & 96.7. | mzee (3324) | ||
