Cougar has a crucial class this morning so I will start the show today. I am posting a few minutes before Sunday Serenade begins [2 PM EST, 1 PM CST, 12PM MST, 11 AM PST, and for you lucky listeners in Hawaii it must be 8 AM.] to give listeners a time to get set up. I recommend that you open a new browser tab or whatever your configuration calls for so you can listen to these broadcasts and still visit the excellent news thread I pinged you to this morning. But please return to this one frequently because each new broadcast will appear as a new reply. I am pinging the list for this one and will do so periodically throughout the day, but not for every reply.

Believe it or not I was 10 years old and our Silvertone radio was set atop the Coldspot fridge and was tuned to
“Songs of The Islands” the very program the japs were tuned to when that happened.

About two hours total for both waves. It started around 7:55 am Hawaiian time and the second wave left just before 10 am.

So when the first reports were coming across the wire/radio we were still under attack, correct?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Charles_Daly
John Charles Patrick Croghan Daly[1] (generally known as John Charles Daly or simply John Daly (February 20, 1914 February 24, 1991[2]) was an American journalist, game show host and radio personality, probably best known for hosting the panel show What’s My Line?. He was the vice president of ABC during the 1950s. On December 22, 1960, he became the son-in-law of Chief Justice Earl Warren, upon marrying Virginia Warren.[3]
Famous broadcasts
As a reporter for CBS, Daly was the voice of two historic announcements. He was the first national radio correspondent to deliver the news of the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 (recordings of this announcement reveal a minor error, either a mistyping of the copy in haste or a misreading by Daly as he pronounced Oahu as if it were spelled “O-ha-u”), and he was the first to relay the wire service report of the death of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt on April 12, 1945, interrupting “Wilderness Road” to deliver the news. Both narrations have been used on historical record albums and radio and TV retrospectives.
