Dialogue #10

You know when I was a kid at the end of that Christmas day like Carl says

We were all tired from chasing somebody else's bicycle

Or running up and down the road or something

But I remember you know one of the biggest blessings

That I can remember from Christmas time was a radio

Like all year you know radio back then you didn't hear Christmas carols on every

There wouldn't every street corners there wouldn't street corners

And there weren't choral groups running up and down the road

In front of your house singing Christmas carols

And it's something that we take for granted now, but when I was a kid

It was a real privilege and a treat to hear a Christmas carol

And about the end of Christmas day when we were all tired

And we'd had all we could eat

I remember sitting down and turning on the radio

And hearing the Christmas carols played on the radio stations all around

That we picked up in Northeast Arkansas

And it was a real thrill if we could hear a song like this
