Old RADIO; COPS, ROBBERS, JACK WEBB & DRAGNET
Being only 40 years old, I was only able to catch the very tail end of True Nightly Radio Programs, on Public Broadcasting, AM Radio.
Although at that when I was younger…
…the time of Golden Age of Radio…
….Had been decades gone.
But I would still like to briefly embrace such a cherished topic to me.
My favorite radio show hands down, was DRAGNET.
It would be late at night, my bedroom lights turned out, & there would be………Jack Webb’s brilliance…..
……both in writing,
directing,
narrating and
performing.
The show always had me hooked within seconds, with a great, brief Intro, my unparalleled interest in who the culprit would be, with the biggest question always being, how would Sergeant Joe Friday catch them, and solve the mystery?
I am the only nostalgic person in the family, so I was always a radio show loner. In today’s modern world of technology,
I am so very grateful for smartphone apps like “TuneIn.”
Once again…
….I am able to lay back, turn off the lights, and drift off to sleep with Dragnet, and dream that I am on the mean streets of 1950s Los Angeles…..
…..watching the LAPD’s Homicide Division.
