They were crude, crass and lacking in military finesse according to Montgomery and other Allied leaders, but they won many more times than they lost. They were a curious mixture of fervent volunteer kids and caustic older draftees. They were soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines from Iowa cornfields and Detroit assembly lines. They sweated through eight abbreviated weeks of basic training, and shipped out to help throw back the tidal wave of Axis aggression in Europe and the Pacific. Life at war for the American GI was essentially long hours of hard physical labour, painful slogging under heavy weights and tedious boredom - interspersed with moments of sheer gut-wrenching terror. The Fifties made you feel there was nothing as important as fun. From cars with fins to skirts with poodles, the whole decade seemed to have a breezy air about it. "The Fifties—they seem to have taken place on a sunny afternoon that asked nothing of you except a drifting belief in the moment and its power to satisfy," said one writer.   What put the Fifties era in a mood to party? The answers were simple: money in the bank and the end of WWII. Fears of not having a home or enough to eat had been left behind in the "Dirty Thirties." The grim, war-torn Forties had ended with an Allied victory. As the Fifties dawned, people plunged into fun as if it were a refreshing pool on a hot summer day. Web radio is free to listen to, for the most part, and the software one needs to take advantage of it is free as well. Player software such as WinAmp or iTunes not only sends the music to your computer speakers, it also generally includes a directory of radio channels--just click on your choice and play. The directory will almost always be arranged by genres, some of the more popular being blues, oldies, rock, psychedelia, easy listening, country, trance or electronic, country, reggae, world music and hip hop. The diversity truly is astounding: the other day I ran across a web radio station devoted exclusively to Hawaiian and polka music! Welcome to OldRadioWorld.com!
