With his faithful Indian companion "Tonto"
The Daring and resourceful,
Masked Rider of the plains,
Led the fight for Law and Order
In the early Western United States.
No where in the pages of History
Can one find a greater Champion of Justice.
Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear.
From out of the past, come the thundering hoof beats of the Great horse "Silver"
The Lone Ranger "Rides Again!"
Hi Ho Silver--Away....... Get um up Scout

Echos of a misspent youth

> you are forgetting the first commercial radio stations. WJR which was WCX began broadcasting in 1922 . Thats about 88 light years of radio signals from Detroit. I wonder what they would think of us hearing music and shows like "the lone ranger" and "flash gordon" . If there is anyone out there. Cheers Steve
