Wonder...

I have a memory of discussing radio with my mother's boyfriend when I was quite young. When we were all still in upstate NY. I feel like there was a show that had a narrator who intoned stories I didn't quite understand in a deep, spooky voice and it always ended with a dramatic laugh. I had heard it and sometimes he liked to listen to it. I feel like it was called "Midnight." But, not sure. Used to listen to "War of the Worlds" on a cassette in the car. Maybe while driving up to Mt. Rainier. First CDs listened to, in a large brown chair with a retractable footrest, with ginger ale, while sick at home from school: Carole King's Tapestry, Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits, the album with Pat Benatar's "Hit Me With Your Best Shot." Actually, maybe that last one was the just unpacking, not yet sick and staying home from school song. That was in the spooky-ish old woman's house. Later, when we moved to the island, I started to enjoy some classical music: The Planets.
