Re: The Big 8 is Back

Thank you for sharing this link. I remember this station being a great listen in the 1970s, especially at nighttime. I like that you folks at this station are including deep cut oldies in the stream.

I've been enjoying it and I've got it playing outside while I enjoy the summer afternoon.  Hopefully it's pissing off the stuck up princess snotbag witch face who lives next door.
