Friends, it's Sunday night again and time to relax. Warm up the tubes for another 4 hours of classic radio Americana.
Info *tonight's show will be available at the "Info" link starting tomorrow.
Official OTR blog of "The Big Broadcast" thread:
Yes, the “crafters” have a big market for scented candles, and their stuff is majorly overpriced. I find that the Glade and Febreeze candles suit me just fine, and the Scentsy warmers and wax is also good. You just have to find the smells you like, and you have it. Pier One also has decent scented candles, but they’re not quite as strong as those Glade and Febreeze ones.
What do you like at Pier One?
“Island Orchard,” “Biscotti” and “Sycamore and Sandalwood” are nice ones to me. I haven’t been there lately. They sometimes discontinue scents and add new ones. They have lots of goods ones. It’s not just their candles, but they also have “home fragrance” sprays, which I like better than the candles, because they’re stronger scents than the candles. With those sprays, you can quickly “freshen” your house, say, if someone is dropping by.
She needs work, but she's a beauty.
That is beautiful

Is that a Philco?

Yes - a ‘47 model 46-1209.

I grew up with gorgeous things like that-—functional and beautiful.
Lucky you.

DTAAAA!!! Beautiful, Viking! We looked at one like that at an antique store yesterday, and we want to find out what it is. You have the best Christmas present! :-)
Awesome!
As a woman the most appealing thing for me is the cabinet——the wood is incredible.
A beautiful piece of furniture.
Your kitties have impeccable taste.:-)

We also found a trove of old LP's from the 40's (78 RPM) through the 70's and 80's at the same antiques mall she got this from. We have ceiling-to-floor bookshelves built into the living room along each side of the fireplace, and the shelves are the perfect size to build up an LP library to play on it.
My wife and I are of a single mind on it; beauty and functionality. We were both born at the tail end of the vacuum tube era; as a kid, I was weaned from that to the old first-generation transistor technology. My father was a radio broadcaster for 50 years. The sights and smells of the old transmitter tubes and equipment (albeit HUGE tubes!) in an AM radio station still lingers in my childhood memories.
Nice. Glad to see the project is coming along...
Merry Christmas!
Y’all are set up! :-D
I was born in 1932.
I guess that explains a lot——there isn’t an electronic devise in my home that can compare aethetically to your new/old Philco.

Verry Nice. Brings back good memories.....
