I guess there's no hiding our age when we admit to owning a Silvertone - I did too. How I loved my radio and my music. I also remember listening to The Shadow. I always have loved a good mystery. Later, I bought a Silvertone TV. I believe Sears Roebuck was the only retailer for Silvertone back then. And I still love listening to music, but now I do it on my computer. I get to choose exactly what I want to hear. Thanks for the memories. Great poem!
I think you are right - Silvertone was a Sears product. There may have been other brands that looked similar. The picture shown is different than the one Dad owned. I still find 'oldies but goodies' on AM radio.
This poem is very well done and brought back great memories. I don't specifically remember the Silvertone brand (well maybe just faintly) but I certainly remember listening to The Shadow. When he wasn't invisible he was LaMont Cranston, if I remember correctly. I don't remember his girlfriend's name.
Thanks very much. I don't remember his name, just The Shadow Knows.
