Here is a feature about what is quaintly called “nudism”. It is a radio show from 1966, on a mainstream AM station in “Chicagoland”(spell check suggestion:Chicanery). The tapes include the commercials and news, and are a trip back in time.
AM radio used to have a lot of shows like this. TV was established, FM radio was on the way, and AM radio was adjusting. While the music stations were popular, most towns had stations which played mainstream music, and tried to appeal to as many people as possible. In Atlanta, the equivalent would be WSB. In those days, you added FM or TV…if you just saw the call letters, it was assumed to be AM radio.
PG had quite a time with these files. He tried to listen to them on the site, but could not pause, or adjust the volume. PG then dragged the files into a window, double clicked, and an mp3 appeared in the window. The fun started when he tried to play them in “Winamp”.
The program went crazy. You could not minimize, open another window, adjust the volume, or anything. PG tried to close the program, and nothing worked. Finally, the only way to get the program to close was to cut the power off to the computer. This is a crude way of turning off the machine, and is only used as a last resort.
When PG tried to cut the machine back on, it would not start. After unplugging/replugging the wire, hitting the circuit breaker, and saying a few cuss words, PG found a toggle switch on back of the tower. After turning this switch off and on, the computer started back.
