The Time Machine (1960) Radio Spots
Happy New Year!
Land sakes! Here we are in January already. It just seems like yesterday when we were opening presents around the Christmas tree and enjoying fun with family and friends.
I was thinking back to 2024 and all the things that had happened to us, good and bad. Good memories were made, and things happened to make us wonder what life is all about. The older I get, the faster time goes…suddenly it’s a new year and the past slowly fades and memories dim.
I was over at the Witchwood Cemetery the other day talking with Uncle Oscar about the new arrivals to the cemetery we had received over the last year, and we both agreed time is moving way too fast. We agreed how memories are important and that we should cherish and hold on to the good ones.
Uncle Oscar said he appreciated my radio spot articles and the memories they brought back to him. I told him I appreciated Ol’ Zombos for giving me the chance to preserve them for posterity. They bring back memories for me, too, I said. I got to thinking which spots I should highlight this time around and the choice became obvious. Suddenly I was back in September, 1960, and was going to see The Time Machine.
Ah, yes: George Pal’s wonderful movie– poignant, sentimental, adventurous and hopeful. It makes one appreciate old friends, wonderful times, and times that can’t be recaptured. Or can they? With a time machine anything is possible.
In fact, you have all the time in the world.
