It started with a simple AM Radio. In fact this AM radio, an Emerson Gemini, 8 transistor radio. With this radio I spent hours listening to MusicRadio 77 WABC, probably the greatest top 40 AM radio station in the country in the late1960’s. I spent hours listening to all the great top 40 songs of the time. You’d hear The Temptations and Three Dog Night on the same station, one after the other.
I would listen for hours at a time. Then when I got the Lafayette RK 76 cassette recorder (shown below) I started taping songs off the radio and recording myself telling stories.
