Marty Robbins on the Air |
|
I rarely seem to be able to find a really good country-and-western radio station; one that plays more than the same top twenty songs over and over and over... When I find a station that is courageous enough to air some of the older music as well as the new, I tune my radio in!! Otherwise, I keep a supply of cassettes in my car and records on the turntable.
Then I came up with this idea. Together, we can come up with a list of stations that still play Hank, Ernest, Bob, Patsy, Jim, Kitty, Roy, and yes, our beloved Marty, as well as many others. I can't do this alone, though, so I need your suggestions.
