Glittering Enchantment

Oh look! A band!

I love the radio. I have always loved it, and I hope to love it forever. It's great for me, though I have hundreds of CDs, because I don't have to worry about changing the content or deciding what the content is...until I get bored with the content and switch the whole thing off. But that's not my point.

When I was younger, I used to request songs on my favorite radio station all the time (WLS 89 AM, Chicago, which is now a talk radio station). It was before I had an FM radio, so AM had to do, and it did do. But that's still not my point.

My point is, and I did have one, when I was really young, I used to think that the music that was being played on the radio was played live, by the musicians in the studios of the radio station. (I was aware enough to realize there was a radio station playing these songs.) Isn't that funny? Every time I heard Fleetwood Mac, Fleetwood Mac was in the the studios of the radio station. I know it's silly; I was like six, OK?

Whatever. Just thought I'd share.
