About Music & Film
Before television moved into the living room, the radio console was the hearth around which the whole family gathered. A warm amber glow from the dial, the crackle of static between stations, and then — a big-band orchestra blooming out of the speaker like something conjured from the air. Sponsored programs, coast-to-coast broadcasts, and the weekly hit parade turned ordinary Tuesday evenings into something close to magic.
