The Family and I "went" to Trans Siberian Orchestra's 2020 concert tonight. Since their 2020 tour was cancelled on account of the 'rona, TSO did a virtual concert via live stream. It was worthwhile...
Whatever it is it's so much better than those early tube type AM radios I used to drive across country listening to.
At least tuning into a station kept me awake on those long hauls. Dial knob only, push button probably cost $7 extra.
My dad bought a 1959 Cadillac El Dorado convertible with wonderbar tuning that automatically tuned into the next station and I thought that was the greatest invention since sliced bread.
Then they came out with transistor radios that didn't need a minute or more to warm up before sound would come out.
I had a 1955 Chevy Cameo pickup. Yes Cameo. It was a short box with fibetglass Fenders. It had an AM radio. But the speaker was cracked in a few places so the sound was fuzzy. Parts of the west there were no stations, Run the dial up and down and still never hear anything.
Just A Gigolo / I Ain’t Got Nobody
Louie Prima
Geez. Another lifetime, another era. But I'd love to have seen him perform live in Las Vegas in the mid-fifties.
Well, it's tough to follow that.
The late Guy Clark wrote this song, but never recorded it. Lyle Lovett titled an album about it and made it popular.

I laugh everytime I hear that song. I was 10 and had my appendix out when David Lee Roth's remake was popular. My brother was about five and was walking down the hall of the hospital belting out "I Ain't Got No Body" over and over thinking it was a song about a guy that was just a head. It was hysterical at the time.
Everything by the Paul Butterfield Blues Band, especially The Resurrection of Pigboy Crabshaw album.
