Media of our Time

"Oh, Cisco…..Oh, Poncho….".
"Hi Ho Silver, (who is that
mask man)"
"Happy Trails to you….
Until we meet again…".
"Back in the Saddle again ,
back where I came from"

The sound of machine guns,
from Gangbusters and G-men,
Boston Blacky (don’t know if that
was on the west coast as well)
Buck Rogers…Sgt. Preston of the
Yukon, Tom Mix, Lone Ranger,
and other westerns…All sounds of
our childhood…While some of these
made it to television…most of these
were from the main source of the
media as we knew it.. Newspapers
were for the adults…. But this media
was for young and old alike….

RADIO…..I can remember being
upstairs in bed,as my folks listened
to the radio. Scared out of my wits with ….
Inner Sanctum EEEEEEEEEEEE
(as the door creaked open ."Who knows
what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The
Shadow knows...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"...
The Green Hornet…Orson Wells …
End of the World, was before my time,
but that sure scared a lot of people.

Laughed with Bob Hope and Eddie Cantor…
Jack Benny, Grace Allen & George Burns,
Amos and Andy, Baby Snooks, Our Miss
Brooks, Bergen & McCarthy, Arthur
Godfrey's Talent Scouts, Fibber McGee
& Molly and Ozzie & Harriet with David
and Ricky.

And all was well, when Kate Smith sang,
When the moon comes over the Mountain,
and tears bring to your eyes, as she sang…
God Bless America…

And for the baby boomers...which was
on at the beginning of T.V. What time is it?…
It is Howdy Doody Time, it is Howdy Doody
Time,with Buffalo Bob, Clarabelle, and
Princess, Summerfall, WinterSpring, &
Phineas T. Bluster.

What brought all this on? The crossword puzzle
question, "What was Cisco Kid's horse's name...
Diablo ..of course...

Oh, you kids really did miss out…
nothing adds to the imagination like radio did….
