    Would you believe I routinely got farther with Angie in my Dad's manual 88 Volvo 740 (Turbo) sedan (bucket seats) that had a digital tuner? Looking backwards, if only I knew good tunes were the password to Valhalla with her . . .

    I was showing my girlfriend and she is also laughing. This turned out to be a great thread thanks to Angie.

    Oh yea. Sorry about all your shortcomings (hehe) with her. Maybe she sits back reminiscing about that 81 wagon.

    even better than that is to go to a mixing studio and listen to music in there... my entire life growing up was involved in music. it really is amazing how good music sounds in a studio , its like looking at a beautiful artistic painting with your ears, best way i can describe it.

    So do I with AM stations especially at night. However, today I stream over the internet almost all of my radio listening.

    WARNING:::: THIS IS IN FUN ONLY
    @D.Tibbitt
    1st.. ..I question anything you see at a Love's
    2nd..... thing I question you describe as " beauful artistic".. because of #1
    #3..... since you grew up involved in music .You surely are familiar with the classic Kinks's song Loyla .. which reverts back to #1 & #2.
    # 4 which is the most important is .. I belive your correct in the post I quoted...I hope you find humor in my post because with a thread title .. I stop at Love's last night and saw this... I can't help it

    Me too if possible

    my cabin has no internet and limited cell signal
    You gotta stand in just the right place to make a call or text ,

    although my son went with me last week to plant a deer plot and help me replace the water heater , and he brought his brand new iPad ,
    I tried texting pictures of the snow to my friend in Florida , and didn’t have enough signal , yet the new iPad got two bars , which was enough signal to stream a movie.

    anyhoo
    I’m there a lot of Friday and Saturday nights and enjoy country music , not enough signal to stream WSM,
    And somehow it just seems authentic to listen to the grand ole opry on Friday and Saturday night , in southern Appalachia ,
    So far back in the woods you gotta have 4wd to get there , on an old AM radio that kinda fades in and out all night .

    Something my grandpa would have done.
    Except his AM radio wouldn’t have had a cassette player .

    Driving at night was certainly better when the clear channels were in-impeded. I listened to WBT all over the southeast and into Texas.

    There was a clear channel station I remember listening to back in the 70s when I was in the USAF in California. Lots of good music. While driving my two favs was WSM and WSB. For years WSB would rerun the Neal Boortz show. I always enjoyed his callers. She no longer works for WSB I had a great friend that worked for the WSB station manager, but I was always hearing from her about the letters and emails that WSB got saying he needed to be fired!
