Gloss or Satin?
#14

Nashville, for me is just tradition. I have been there every year at least once, usually in the fall, since I can remember and I'll be turning 57 this month. When I went as a kid with my parents it was always during the busiest day of the year, and my mom would enter a store and meticulously look at EVERY item on EVERY shelf just in case one thing was priced a little lower than it's counterparts. Of course my sister and I were bored and constantly getting yelled at. It was something right out of a Jean Shepherd story.
I swore the other day when I bought the 90 I was going to stop for a while until I got caught up. Then I ran into a guy that used to work for me and while we were catching up I told him about the radio hobby. He said "I almost started that a few years ago...I have two old wooden radios I'll just give you". And so it goes.
