Plot – Joe remembers events of his life associated with radio memories - voices, events and music, from the 30s' to the end of the war. His Jewish family is numerous and bizarre. His house is full of people and amenities: a father who makes ends meet but is always ready to deal with small crazy initiatives; an abrupt quarrelsome but affectionate mother; uncle Abe, a great fisherman; one of his mother's sisters - Bea – a spinster and a dreamer. Various characters go through Joe's mind: from the radio, from show-business, from everyday life, unknown celebrities like fatties as enterprising as they are cowardly, or the graceful and querulous cigarette seller, all somehow linked to those prevailing microphones, from which the news of Pearl Harbour is dispatched and Glenn Miller's immortal songs are played.
