Let us look back to when the radio rule the day and artist wanted to be played.

“I wrote a song, but I can’t read music. Every time I hear a new song on the radio I think, “Hey, maybe I wrote that.””

    BACK WHEN RADIO WAZ RADIO

    *

    Remember
    When radio rule
    There was the squeezin door
    Scary nights to hear
    Things creepin
    In the dark
    The sounds of screams
    Foot steps and
    Voices
    You be shakin in your sheets
    Afraid to even go pee
    Sum time would
    Wet the bed
    But mom
    Would never spank
    Cuz she were just as scare
    But she never wet the bed those
    Then came the music
    Early mornin light
    Wake up call
    For school and work
    And every thing would be all right again

    Music is what makes you move
    Music is what makes you groove
    Music can be good or bad depending on how its used
    Music can make you choose different clothes to wear
    Music can make you change your hair
    Music can make you choose new friends
    Music can make you want to dance
    Music can make you fight
    Music can make everything alright
    Music can take care of you when your alone
    Music can make everything feel like home
    Music can harm and take away
    Music can make you want to stay
    Music is the only friend I have
    Music is what keeps me alive
    When I feel like I can’t survive

    ME AND MY RADIO

    My love affair with the radio
    began such a long time ago,
    before the days of NPR
    and classical music on FM.
    It began quite innocently,
    as I recall,
    with a kit that came in a box,
    trying so very hard
    to get all the pieces to fit,
    an early electronic wonder
    that brought just a few stations in.

    Then graduating to transistors
    and earphones and batteries,
    Elvis and Beethoven
    my constant companions
    with summertime
    Mets baseball thrown in.
    I should have been studying
    and doing my math,
    my parents reminded me,
    but I was too busy listening
    to what came out of that box
    to pay any attention
    to what they said.

    There were all kinds of tunes
    that made my heart sing,
    the sad ones,
    the glad ones,
    the classics
    and the fads.
    And through the years
    our love affair
    blossomed and grew,
    that love affair that began
    such a long time ago
    between me
    and my radio.

    I may never ever hear
    My songs played
    On the radio
    But I can
    Sho feel the beat
    And write the tunes
    Wit the radio on
    Wit the radio on hit
    And the beat
    Goes on
    And on
