I’d dare you to do Iron Butterfly in Morse.

It’s not even really CW.

(And BURRRRNING up the charts this week is that swingin’ cat MARCONI and his rendition of that classic…

the letter “S”)

It’s a good thing Fessenden invented music radio in 1906 (read your history book).

A blow-up JUKEBOX would be more appropriate for most stations nowadawys!

Well, if you’re going to “rip” an LP, good luck. Last time I checked, in order to “rip” an LP, you needed a good-quality analog rotary vinyl decoder, and it was a “real time” sort of thing. And another thing… Digital radio has been around longer than most of us can remember. Morse Code was one of the first true digital forms of radio transmission.

Duh! K-HITS is the past!! Super hits of the 60â€™s and 70â€™s.

q: How do you bring classic rock into the “digital” age?

a: “Go out to the shed and get me all those Boston and Foreigner LPs I gotta rip”

I know who bought the KF95 (later The X and J105) boombox trailer. Actually it was my dad and I. Wierd, I know. Anyways, realizing it had no apparent use besides lowing the property values of the surrounding neighborhood we then sold it. It was last seen being used by a sound company called Confetti Productions.

At Expo Idaho, while kissing a Taco Belle.

I’ll give ten bucks to sponsor the old name?

It would be a whole lot cooler if the cat was holding a guitar. And then that cat ate a frog. Maybe a frog with a cowboy hat. I’d pay money to watch that. Oh wait, I already did a couple of years ago at the Western Idaho Fair.

To “busted” … Not sure I want to go there, but then a cat would kill a bird anyday. :)

And to Steven… The boombox went to pasture a few years ago… Not sure what it’s final outcome was, but the station sold it.
