there's a radio channel that still has broadcast news in dialects. it cums on around noon time, and newscasters speak hainanese, hakka, teochew, hokkien in series. i listen to all of them as these lau ah pek dialects, unlike dialects spoken in wet markets, may soon go extinct.

sometimes i just tuned here and there and got some sw stations but the radio and aerial too small to receive good signals from overseas....also got those whistling type background which was louder than everything else......noise to content ratio very high.

thanks for the pics...longest day was one of my favourite war movies along with the dirty dozen......dirty dozen had a song sung by trini lopez entitled bramblebush.....listen to it ....it's quite nice......i had posted it on the 60s music thread but difficult to locate so just youtube it.
In spite of all these, my first record was the theme to the movie -The Longest Day....
