hadn't heard of it

What a good idea, I hadn't heard of Silverline either.

Can't remember th last time I had th radio on. To break the silence I have music on one of the I-pads

Think I'll go out to Is This the Way to Amarillo  !   

Never look at yourself in sunlight...

My radio is Alexa... I do not tune her in.. Just ask her to ..
She tells me if it will rain.. She tells me what cm.. mm.. are in ft and inches..
She tells me loads of stuff.. Not always the truth about the weather though..

Muddy.. Bette Midler.. The Rose... Lovely choice..
 Wind Beneath my Wings was sang at Sam's funeral...

You can just tell Alexa to play a named station and it will play it till you tell it to stop. No real need for radio these days if you have an internet connection and a smart speaker.

Didn't she help promote it? 

Yes, she started it I believe.

A late good morning today.
I haven't done much at all yet, other than had some beans on toast,  fed the dogs,  and got the washing pegged out,  and now I am off to Pets @ Home  for a couple of things.  

Quote from: klondike on June 07, 2026, 11:32:10 AMI virtually never have a radio on. Odd I suppose as I know so many do and all I need do is ask Alexa.

Yeah,  but does she sing to you when you come in to an empty house?
And does she read amusing letters from listeners, or read you a nice story?  

At least with a radio you can choose what station you want, and don't have to keep prompting it to bring it to life.
