Chris, no offense but you havent changed a bit except for the beard..haha!.

You guys really helped bring back some great memories

Nope, can't hate mom over my bowl cut....She was doing the best she could. Can't hate her over my mono radio cassette either. My love for music was only made stronger when I got that little radio. Being able to record songs off the radio and then play them back for the ladies was the first time I felt like I had my "Mo Jo Going"
I just wanted a stereo box for "Street Credit"

Raise your hand if you thought that having the biggest radio on the block = CHICKS LIKED YOU

Leaning over? Girls are taller than boys at that age.

thanks Royce ... Truth is this is why I started collecting again .. That Christmas had such an impact on my life ... My mother really couldn't afford to buy that box for me but she knew how much I really wanted it.. So every week on Friday she would take a bus ride to the mall to put some money on the radio .. She didn't have a credit card so it was a lay away plan..And the rest was history.. Well after she had past I was really sad and I said what would make me so happy again like that... I went on eBay and saw I was still able to purchase my old boxes... So I found my radios and made some real good friends along the way ... Merry Christmas guy's .. Thanks Chris ... Great post .....
