What a sad story.

[MaryFromMichigan]

The last one I recorded was 57 MB.

[Vision]

Wait what? She died of natural causes but they told him it was epilepsy to make him feel better?

[WXRGina]

Hi, Mary! It’s good to see you checking in. We hope all’s well up there. :-)

[WXRGina]

Her doctor from back home said she’d had epilepsy for many years but hid it from her husband, because she was afraid he wouldn’t marry her if he knew. She died of an epileptic seizure.

[Vision]

Yea, that’s sad.

[WXRGina]

That was a good story. I figured it out right before she told Matt. I told Keith, “He’s her brother!”

[Vision]

Yea

[Vision]

The Anderson Family is kind of a snore.

[Vision]

I can’t tell if this cop is Jack Webb or a really good imitator.

[WXRGina]

Yeah, it was...

[WXRGina]

It sounds like Jack Webb. We thought so. I hate we didn’t have a synopsis to know for sure.

Evening, folks. Vision - the wife found me a Zenith X334 from 1959, all tubes intact. I need to replace the #1819 bulb in the tuner light (I ordered a 10-pack) and the tuner plate needs reattached, but it sounds great after the tubes warm up for about 5 or 6 seconds. The cabinet is either maple or walnut hardwood and is pristine.

[WXRGina]

That's a beautiful radio, Viking! Score one big-time for Mrs. Viking!

[Vision]

[Vision]

I love Thelma Ritter.

[Vision]

Nice Viking. How are you?

[WXRGina]

By the way, my husband, Keith, collects and restores antique radios. Our best one is a functioning 1936, model 725 Atwater Kent. Here is a picture of one like it:

[WXRGina]

Awesome and excellent, Vision. The classics are priceless.

[Vision]

Night Gina, all. I’m heading to listen by the radio...

They’re doing a good job on Street Scene.

Have a wonderful week.
