She had the radio on, the little built-in radio of her Celestron power tank. Weird. A weird option, I think, on an astronomy power source. And weird. Weird that it was the second time in three days that I had heard someone using the built-in radio on their Celestron power tank. I guess others like it.
She was tuned to CBC. And there was some radio play on. The theatrical tone. The sound effects. The whole style... And suddenly... I went back in time. St Marys. Grade 9. The summer of 1978. In my bedroom. Listening to the radio. Tuning in for:
Johnny Chase - Secret Agent of Space!
Holy. I could almost hear the intro. I searched Google. Look at that. Found the wikipedia entry! Right, the smart but sarcastic computer Dante. I forgot the music had been done by FM. What a riot.
I think I have audio recordings of some of the episodes...
