For my generation, and even for yours, the radio had a huge impact on the development of musical taste. I don't think my granddaughter ever listens to the radio.
I got my first stereo when I started working as a teacher. I was in my twenties. Before that, I could only listen to music on small, battery-powered radios.
Thanks for sharing, my dear @nancybriti1 . A big hug from Maracay.
