Lovely, rich time capsule tribute to the intimate power of radio. In four minutes I?m transported from chilly oceanside modern day life to the plains of Texas, circa 1939. Potbelly stove, battery Philco, yearning hillbilly music evoke a way of life. Sharp details, wonderful voices, archival tape, a warm feeling inside. Why we love radio.
