The Radio

We listen to the radio
At home or in the car.
It's really such good company
No matter where we are.

We flip the stations back and forth
From classical to jazz,
With rock & roll contributing
In that cool way it has.

The bathroom has a radio
That's set to just the news,
With traffic and the weather
And occasional reviews.

Though some prefer the quiet 
We love music in the air
And the trusty AM/FM
Does its job to keep it there.

As long as it isn't the fox station. ;/ I only wish there were hipper stations that played what we would play on our stereo. (our own collection). Our whole lives we've had radio. The evolution of technological life kind of makes it hard to even imagine what it would have been like before the influence beyond our own back yards.

Nothing beats a radio, Ilene! There was a time when I used to have it on 24/7. Listening without having to make an extra effort to watch is right up my street:) Regards // paul

I used to listen in the house all the time. Now it's only in the car. At home I listen to Youtube, start with an artist and leave on autoplay, no commercials
