Well, Bryan, I was being facetious...We didn't have TV 'round here til '54...They MIGHT have had some xperimental stuff in Memphis or maybe Nashville B4 the war, but I doubt it...I have an Admiral 7" Bakelite set that was the 1st TV around here...The old guy who owned the theater had it...He & his pals would take it up on this hill outside of town where they had AC & an antenna rigged up, they'd monkey w/it in hopes of getting WSB or WAGA in Atlanta. Sometimes, they'd get lucky, a signal would fade in 'n' out, they'd all cheer ! Television ! The Marvel of the Age !...
