Remembering Is What It's All About: Reminiscing By The Little River Band

You know not a day goes by when I don't miss the 24k program of 99.5rt. I know this sounds offending but the new station's classic program can be summed up in one word: IT STINKS!!! Let's face it, the great part about RT's 24k Djs is that they were ready to play any song that was aired during the past. Not just the obvious hits that have withstood the test of time, but also the songs and bands that made great music but suddenly vanished. These Djs pulled out all the cds, vynls and even cassette types from their library for those who jammed the phone lines just to get their songs aired on the radio because it'all about the memories like "Reminiscing" from The Little River Band".

It's all about sharing those moments that made life great and wanting to remember them again. Although it describes a date about two trying hold on to the good times that they had which it is also something that not only I, but alot of listeners try to do every fridays. For just one moment, you sit down and listen to that song that takes the years off your shoulder and time freezes as you savor every tune and every lyric of the song as plays on air. In that short period, you're in bliss pretty much like when David played harp or lyre for King Saul to ease his stress. When it's over, you scramble for the telephone to request another good song or txt it through your cellphone to keep that bliss feeling from vanishing.

Alas, the program the ressurected the best times of my youth is no more. The new station that took over is only playing only 90's songs and nothing else. That sucks big time because they took away the one thing that made Fridays very enjoyable. They don't even play any of the hits which have become rare in that decade and air songs that are still being played today. The biggest question in my mind is what happened to all those vintage records and songs that were once part of the 24k program. If they simply discarded them, it would break my heart because what was lost in my opinion was more valuable than gold or precious gems because I grew up listening to all those tunes and they represent all the good things that happened in the past.
