ROCK N' ROLL CIRCUS #35 Transistor Radio

Ricky Byrd’s new song “Transistor Radio Childhood” stopped me in my tracks. 📻 Took me straight back to being 10 years old, lying on the floor with my Zenith Royal turquoise transistor radio pressed to my ear—falling in love with rock n’ roll for the very first time. 🎸 Before streaming, before CDs, before even cassette tapes... there was this. A tiny radio that turned electrical signals into magic. ⚡✨ Marlene found one just like mine from a man in Philly for $75.... tucked in a drawer for 60 years. It still works. And yep—it still plays rock n’ roll. 🔊❤️ This week, tune in as we remember how it all began—how some of the greatest musicians found their spark in the crackle of a transistor radio. 🎶 It’s more than nostalgia. It’s the soundtrack of our youth. #TransistorRadioChildhood #RickyByrd #RockNRollForever #MusicMemories #ThrowbackVibes #RadioDays #RockNRollRoot
