Your alternative to the likes of Blake Shelton

I'm in the camp of folks who don't insalt my country music elders. I've been able to support these legends since I got online in 1995 and hooked up to some interesting music folks and their fans. This station is the penicle of my support and I love getting to mingle with folks from Raleigh to Nashville to Austin. I'm looking forward to the April 17 march on Music Row.

So many folks continue to complain and miss the old days of commerical radio. Why not give our station a listen? Our listening hours are way down and issues with Live 365 are not all the blame. also let me know what you like or hate.

The first quarter of our reporting year for 2013 favored a nice batch of classics but also a couple gals Amber Digby and Kasey Chambers who would never fit the country mold.  (Jan through Oct). As long as it's there my mission will be to expose folks to new Bluegrass, Honky Tonk and Western Swing as well as tributes as
they fit.
