How and when did your interest in things audio start?


1953 (when I was 5 or 6 years old) listening to this on the radio every
Friday (?) night.....

..... sitting on the arm of a chair watching the grille cloth of the
radio
more intently than I watch a TV screen today!

Me also, used to listen under bedclothes to headphones on Xtal set to the
plays by Jack Hulbert & Cicely Courtenledge, and 'In town tonight' ...we
stop the roar of London's traffic :-)

Fekkin' loved it! - Scares me more now than it did then!! :-) Me
too..

Those big radio orchestras really set the scene...a lot of work must
have
gone into

(See http://www.whirligig-tv.co.uk/radio/...yintospace.htm if you
are
interested...) ta

Eeee by 'eck, that takes me back to when I were nobbut a lad!

(Said in a North-East Scottish accent, of course................)
