[NJARC] Roger McGuinn, Radio Collector

[John Dilks K2TQN]

That could have been me.

I had a Bulova 4-tube portable I got for selling 60 boxes of 
Christmas cards from an ad in Boy's Life magazine, one year.  I 
attached it to my bike and had radio-music as I rode around - until 
that is, the batteries went dead.  The 67-1/2 vole one was the most 
expensive so I went weeks at a time without radio until I could buy 
another battery.

I asked for a guitar too, but Dad only gave me an old National RX for 
the summer instead.  Maybe I would have been a rock-n-roller 
too?  Nah, I doubt that.  I would have been too lazy to 
practice.  Listening to radio was easier and didn't require too much 
sweat.  (Except for the part-time jobs I needed for the scratch to 
buy another battery.)

Anybody out there have a radio on their bike?  I also had a Bermuda 
Bell on it, about the time cops stopped anyone with one of them.  I 
had great fun ringing it within ear shot of a cop and then watching 
him chase down the passing car thinking he caught someone.  (This 
should explain a lot about me to some of you who have doubted me in the past?)
