Love Hertz

I've just started reading Last Train to Hilversum - Charlie Connelly's love letter to radio; I too have a ton of memories the from the box of voices; as Charlie says in the first chapter, "we're all radio people." Maybe at some point I'll share some of my radio milestones spanning the last 60 years but right now I'm too engrossed in this delightful tome. If you're stuck for stocking fillers this year then look no further... 

In the days before Van Morrison turned into a total bellend he recorded this paen to the wireless. I have a feeling it may get a mention in later chapters. 

I am down on my knees 

At the wireless knobs 

Telefunken, Telefunken 

And I'm searching for Luxembourg, Athlone, Budapest, AFN, Hilversum, Helvetia 

In the days before rock 'n' roll
