Subject:  CD MP3 Boombox

About a year ago, I bought a boombox that plays MP3 CDs.  I have a ton of OTR
on MP3 CDs, and I had been listening to them on my computer.  The boombox
expanded my listening possibilities bigtime, and it runs on battery or wall
current.

I paid $30 for mine, it is now on sale for $[removed] and I highly recommend it:

 From Those Were The Days

5/1

1931   Singer Kate Smith began her long and illustrious radio career
with CBS on this, her birthday. The 22 year old Smith started out with
no sponsors and a paycheck of just $10 a week ($139 in 2009 dollars) for
the nationally broadcast daily program. However, within 30 days, her
salary increased to a more respectable $1,500 a week ($20,934 in 2009
dollars).

5/5

1935   The program, Rhythm at Eight, made its debut. The star of the
show was 24 year old Ethel Merman. Though Merman would become a legend
years later, she didn't fare so well on radio. Her show was taken off
the air after 13 weeks and Miss Merman returned to her first love, Broadway.

5/6

1937   A student of history, a broadcaster or anyone interested in news
coverage, will remember this day and the words of NBC's Herbert
Morrison. "Oh, the humanities!" Morrison's emotion filled historic
broadcast of the explosion of the dirigible, Hindenburg at Lakehurst,
NJ, became the first recorded coast to coast broadcast as it was carried
on both the NBC Red and NBC Blue networks from New York City.
