Wow. Thanks for sharing. This is radio as I remember it. Back when it was fun and a hell of a lot more simple that it is now. Say what you want about the computer era but we had a hell of a lot less problems then than we have now. I wanna go back!! LOL

Take me with you. I never wandered in to the TCS studios (to my memory) but I could still "smell" it when I looked at the fourth one in. (If that makes any sense at all.)

I paraphrase - "When returning to the home of your youth you will find it was not the home you miss, but your childhood." Dave hit on it perfect... those pictures make me miss radio, but radio of that era. I love computers, but I love a good splice edit just as much.
