The oldies station in Atlanta went to a rap format about a year ago, leaving this poor 'boomer without any FM oldies station anywhere on the dial.

Thankfully, our little AM 1240 station in Brevard, NC ("The White Squirrel Station") plays real oldies every day. I even heard "The Ballad of Davy Crockett" the other day, from the early fifties.

They also play jazz, big bands, bluegrass, "make believe ballroom" dance music, and some really nice accoustic stuff that can't be categorized. But NEVER a rap song.

It's what radio should be.

I'm moving to SC! That's how radio should be. You should be able to hear everything from country to motown to jazz to movie overtures or the latest pop. I understand that many radio stations were like that in the '60's. Louis Armstrong followed by the Beatles, followed by Marty Robbins...what a concept!

The world's gone to hell, arrgh!
