Songs
Daughter: Alexa, play Let It Go.
Dad: When I was your age, I had to call a radio station, wait on hold for 30 minutes to request a song, then sit by my boom box for an hour for my song to play with a blank cassette tape so I could record it. Daughter: I don't understand any of that.

Re: Songs
those were the days! Who can ever forget waiting all that time to record your song only to have your mother or brother come in to talk to you halfway through the recording. God bless you all!
"another one bites the dus......MOM SHUT UP I'M RECORDING THIS SONG!!!!"

Re: Songs
Some stations played new releases of albums commercial free around midnight.

Re: Songs
Our local radio station didn't announce song requests until after the song played, if the DJ didn't like you.

Re: Songs
we didn't have a car with a tape deck for well into the late 80's but we had 8 tracks and when we traveled we had 2, 8 track tapes. the best of the carpenters and willie nelsons album that had "on the road again" to this day i still know every lyric to that song. we'd turn down the rest of the album and when the song replayed we'd always play it loud and sing it as a family. what's funny was our poverty when we were growing up really bound us together as a family
