I remember getting a transistor radio for Christmas back around '64 or so, and listening to it at night when I was supposed to be sleeping using the earphone that came with it so my parents couldn't hear. Nice work on the acoustic, Peter, and good vocal, Leon. Thanks for bring back some good memories!

At first listen, sounded bit too hurried, but maybe that was just because I'm not used to hear a fast tempo song from you  On next listens, I was used to the groove. Very nice story makes me feel so good. Beautifully nostalgic pop tune. Great band, the horn section fits very well and the acoustic guitar solo is nice one. Janne

Peter and Leon,
Man can I ever relate to every single line in this one! Thanks for taking me back to the 60's again!
Peter, nice work on that acoustic! It's great to hear you play it even though I'm partial to those searing blues licks you play on the electric!
Leon, nice job on the vocals again! You guy's make a pretty good team!
Thanks, Torrey

I agree with Janne that, initially, it seems a little rushed BUT the warm vocal and nostalgia the narrative promoted covered that over quickly.
It'd probably be less effective slower...wouldn't match/suggest the transistor radio pop of the 60s.
it's a cool song, the repetition of phrases reinforces the message and radiates some "feel good" vibes.
Nice one.
Cheers

Flashback to my childhood in the 50's! I could relate to every word.
Everything is spot on!
Loved it and thanx for the trip back in time.

I was going for a bit of a Van Morrison feel - he does tend to squeeze in the words. Peter

Peter & Leon, I guess we all had that same radio... Cool backing. The horns are a nice addition. (very Van-like). Like janne and ray, I felt the lyrics were rushed - which made it fell like a disconnect between the lyric and the backing. Good mix. fj

Being a bit older than most if not all here I (Bud) listened to a floor model TUBE radio at bedtime. And it had a "magic eye" tuner on it. Some may have to google that! I (Janice) listened nightly to a turntable and Mama didn't mind as she loved the same music. We also both were fond of climbing trees and can relate to all the joy in this song. Thank you for the happy memories! Peter, the acoustic sounds great and the BiaB band is very good too. We like the horn section and the accordian. Leon, your vocals were perfect for taking us down memory lane. Enjoyed it! J&B
