I loved listening to the Sunday stories on 1ZB (I think it was) when I was a kid. No tv in the mornings, no computers, playstations, phones, electronic games - entertainment was comic books, yo-yos, stickers, and on a Sunday morning before mum and dad got up (oh, hang on, one of them probably turned the radio on for us) lying in bed listening to "Diana and the Golden Apples" and Clive Dunn singing "Grandad" etc. etc.

This dredge had just reminded me of some happy childhood memories which were buried under decades of technological advancement.

Cheers!

Not really, but I do remember the Billy Goats Gruff and Molly Woppy.

oh shit - I've got a Sparky record somewhere - or maybe I gave it to my son - he ran a kids program on the Massey radio station a few years ago and was grabbing whatever he could from my collection.....

Just don't mention "The Golden Palimino".....aaaaaargh!

Ooh err. Look what I found ... http://www.donlinden.com/cds.htm

Oooh. What about 'The Foolish Koala'? "Oh no, oh no, oh no". Sad but I still say that from time to time in an aussie marsupial voice. (Koalas are marsupials aren't they?)
