I like the clean approach you took here with the arrangement. All the percussion and simple, sparse guitar.
much enjoyed!

Hi Bob. Interesting writing, as always from you!! Really dig the vibe. I assume the Fall day was 9/11/01-burned into all of our memories. This song is a really interesting tribute. Although I'm not crazy about much of the music on the radio anymore, radio definitely has been a mainstay in my life (these days talk radio more). There is something about the connectedness that's compelling. Not as big and pervasive as the web but more intimate. Thanks for sharing this interesting and enjoyable song! And, there were your signature congas again, and again fitting in perfectly! Take care. Greg

Hi Bob,
Another very enjoyable listen. The groove, the melody and the vibe all collaborated to really pull me into this one. Nice work. I thought the mix was great and your presentation was perfect for the genre.
Regards,
Noel

Hi, Bob !
Seems to me it has to
be a Bob to come up
with such brilliant
lyrics ! To me you are
a greater show than Dylan
himself !:))
I guess we all miss
radio times !!!
I liked everything about
this folk tune of yours !
Cheers
Dani

Hi All, Here's a new little folk song inspired by my affinity for the radio and its connection to my life in New York throughout the years… Hey RadioAll BIAB and GarageBand. Thanks for listening! Bob Hi Bob, This is brilliant! Hey radio took me from the first phrase, to the end. Very well produced, every note counts, not one sound or note to many! Loved the production, and you use your voice very efficiently. Well done! G F

Greg,
Yes, I remember taking the train home to Long Island from NYC that day - I had a small digital radio that I used to keep in my bag - listened to that the whole way home.
I still find a link to radio no matter where I go - still means a lot to me.
Thanks so much for listening and your kind words.
Bob

This is fantastic! I really like the sparse instrumentation in this. This song is so strong that it does not need anything else.
Your vocal was perfect, the lyrics outstanding and the mix was super.
Love is grand.
