Your Station of the Stars

"It was in September 1961 (I was fourteen years old) that I started to listen to Radio Luxembourg. I used an old Grundig radio with a (so called) green tuning eye. Because of the fading of Radio Luxembourg the green eye always winks slowly, with a fast 'jit' every now and then. Everynight at 19.30 hours I tuned in at the great 208 m./1440 kHz. (medium-wave). Tune 208 m. 'Rita Williams Singers' It was fantastic to listen to Radio Luxembourg because at that time it was the only radiostation in all Europe that played nonstop the latest records (45 rpm singles)."

We would fall asleep with our transistor radios next to our ears, hidden under the covers.
It was our link to "Home"...

"You're not a baby boomer if you don't have a visceral recollection of a Kennedy and a King assassination, 
a Beatles breakup, a U.S. defeat in Vietnam, and a Watergate."

I'll be taking a lot of these pictures with a lot of posts like this.
I'm cleaning and paring down my life.
I inherited my grandmother's cedar chest, and have cleaned it out, sorting through all of its contents.
In the bottom of the chest, wrapped in a plastic bag, I found these newspapers.
I know I didn't save them.
I was there, in San Francisco, on that day.
But I didn't buy newspapers, nor did I save them.
So, before I donate them, or gift them to whoever wants them,
It's my picture for this day.
