When I was a teenager, my family didn’t have a lot of money. This meant that I could not go out and buy a new album or cassette when I heard a song that I liked. Instead, I had to record the songs that I liked from the radio.

This did work well, but there were many times when the DJ would talk over the beginning of the song, and that meant I would have to put up with an imperfect copy of a song. Times have changed though, and finding great live radio stations is easier than ever, and some don‘t have a DJ that talks over a song.

One year at Christmas time, my dad told me that if I wanted to get him something special I could go out and look for police scanners. It seems that there are a lot of people in my fathers small town that like to have these. I guess it is because in such a small community it is nice to know what is going on, and usually when there is emergency most people know the other people involved. There have been many times when my father was made aware of a family illness from the information that has come over the scanner.

When doing my family tree, I noticed that the further I went back in time, the closer families tended to stay. Granted, immigration was always a huge move, and is how most families ended up in the United States, but other than that, many didn’t move far when they married. As time went on though, people began to move further and further from family, and that meant that seeing people they love becomes something that happens only on special occasions. If you are a family with your loved ones living an hour or more away, one great investment would be to have a car DVD system installed for your children.

When I first began to listen to the police scanners, it didn’t mean much to me. You really need police scanner codes to make sense of it. The problem is that different police departments use different codes. Although you hear certain codes over and over again in the popular media (such as 10-4), In reality there is no standardization of police code. What might mean murder in one department might mean “I’m Taking a break to get a cup of coffee” in another.

Even more success followed when All My Love came out. It was adapted from the orchestral piece Bolero, composed by Maurice Ravel and was the first number one hit for Patti Page in 1950. Later in the same year, she had the biggest hit of her career when she recorded The Tennessee Waltz.

The face of pop music changed of course as the 1960s revolution of groups took hold. Patti Page had a loyal fan base however and remained a much sought after live performer. The last pop hit occurred in 1965 with the theme song from the movie starring Bette Davis, Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte. Her last ever chart position was in the country charts in 1982, with the song My Man Friday, which reached number 80.

Novice diplomat William Montgomery is selected to serve as the U.S. Ambassador to a south Pacific island nation. With eccentric and unusual characters, Ambassador Service will leave you guessing whilst it amuses you.

Robert Parson has written an second part Ambassador Service 2, also very worthwhile!

Here’s what he says about his books: “The plan was to distribute the series on the internet. The average websurfer, though, has a notoriously short attention span. I wrote “Ambassador Serviceâ€? and “Invasive Speciesâ€? to take advantage of that. Instead of using the old 30 minute radiotheatre paradigm, I wrote them as serials with episodes of five minutes or less. Long enough to move the plot along, but not so long someone is going to lose interest. This also gives me a chance to create appointment listening, by making the episodes available on the same day every week. “

Well known for his angsty, off-color humor, his career started on MTV during a comedy sketch where he ripped on REM. Best known as a stand-up comedian, he has released two full-length comedy albums, No Cure for Cancer and Lock’n’Load. Though admittedly not much of a musician, Leary’s off-color song “Assholeâ€? became extremely popular in 1994, reciving a great deal of notoriety both inside and outside the United States. However, the song’s language kept it off of most major U.S. radio playlists, though it was huge on Australian radio stations.
