I used to believe that when my mom would listen to the radio, i thought there were little people in the radio with instruments playing the song.

When I was about 7 or 8 I used to believe all the songs played on the radio were being played live in the studio by the musicans :P

when i was younger i believed when a song was on the radio that it was live and the song was coming right from a person singing it and that it wasn't recorded

When I was little my mom would always have the radio tuned to the country station in the car. Because there was always a song playing, I thought that every singer was in a studio somewhere, with a little box at their feet with hundreds of little lights on it. If a light was green, it meant someone had the radio on somewhere, and the person knew to keep playing/singing. I always imagined country stars hanging out between songs, sleeping propped up on a bench in a tiny hallway, with a hat over their eyes and a guitar in their laps, just waiting for their turn to sing again.

when i was little, i thought that the singers would be in the studio, like when the people would announce whose next, i thought they were in there, waiting.

Back as a small child when I was finally old enough to identify what a radio was but before I was old enough to understand what records had to do with them, I believed that everyone I heard on the radio was performing live. I had this image in my mind that they were all gathered in a big room someplace and they would all take turns sitting around, waiting to be announced and then step up to a microphone and sing their hit song. Then when they were done, since I might hear the song several times during the day, I imagined they would all go sit down and wait around until they were called to perform again.

I used to believe that the people singing on the radio were live and at the radio station singing. One time, my mom and I were listening to the radio on Christmas eve night, and I asked her, "How come there are people singing tonight? Shouldn't they be home with their families for Christmas?" That's when she told me that it was a recording.

I used to think that when the DJs on the radio played songs it was the artist singing live. I could never figure out how they got people in and out of the "singing chair" and how they got their bands set up so quickly. It's was years later that I finally found out that it's all pre recorded on a tape or cd.

Amanda

I used to believe that the people performing on the radio (Andy Williams, Nat King Cole, etc.) were actually singing in the radio station's studio. I always wanted to go there and see the singers until it was explained to me about records, etc. Total bummer.

Frances

I used to wonder how they managed to fit the orchestra into the radio station.

sally

I believed singers sang into a a microphone at the radio station and all of the songs were live.

michele

When I was about 5 I used to believe that everytime I heard a song on the radio or on a cd that where ever the singer was they were perfoming the song, and I was hearing it live.

Anon

I use to think music from the radio was live music.

Robin

I used to believe that there were actual bands playing at the studio when you turned on a radio.

Carole

when i was litle i used to think if i looked in the speakers of a radio i wud b able to see the bands playing...one time i had a red top on n i seen the reflection in the speakers n i got so exited to think it was actully the band i cuold see!!

Anon

When I was little I used to think that there was little pople inside the radio playing the music...

Anon

When I was a kid I used to believe there were literally very very very very small people inside the radio.

John Granic

I used to think that when a song was played on the radio that the band or singer was actually in the radio station playing. I wondered how the station could fit so many people to play all the songs.

LL McGinnis

I used to think that all the songs I heard on the radio were played live at the radio stations by the artists.

Stephanie

I used to think the songs I heard on the radio were being sung live in the radio station studio. I remember being very embarassed when my uncle explained to me Tina Turner could be on two radio stations because they were both playing her records

I also remember thinking Pia Zadora was named P. Isadora. Of course it wouldn't matter, since no one cares about P. Isadora, or whatever her name is.
