Pretty good oldies station.

I usually browse around Shoutcast for 50s, 60s and 70s oldies, or play my own home-made CD oldies collections.

I love my Soundbridge.

I get rock-n-roll from all over the world ;-) ...Jim Thompson

Kool.

'fraid I do it 'the old fashioned way' and just use a PC. Or rather, old notebooks I have that work good enough for me..

I don't like to tie up the PC with anything distracting from Spice. The Soundbridge is on the network (doesn't need a PC to work) and feeds audio to my JVC sound system. ...Jim Thompson

I understand. Same here, which is why I use old notebooks or the HTPC.

Usually one of the old notebooks for just plopping on background music but I've got another one of the (older) PCs set up with a Delta66 for testing amplifiers so when not doing that I might as well use it for a 'hifi' source.

They sound easy to please. Remember my (now, not so) little guy? He requested for Xmas a laptop considerably more powerful than the one I use!

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you walked to school barefoot in the snow.

Uphill

Both ways

And were thankful

I live on the Gulf Coast. What the hell is "snow" and "uphill?"

I also live on the Gulf Coast, near Destin. We get snow every few years. I grew up in Massachusetts, we had snow and hills. You are just deprived. Walking barefoot to school, uphill, both ways, builds character. Like getting up before dawn to milk the chickens and get cow eggs.

Yeah, but cow eggs taste like crap.

Fried chicken milk is pretty good, though.

What happened to Ch 58 in Destin? I built that TV station almost 20 years ago.

Wasn't it on cable? There were several country stations when I was working in Destin. I think the station was at 602 Mountain Drive, in Destin.

The original rock & roll station in Ft Walton beach went dark while I was there. It was the crappiest built AM station I've ever seen. they transmitted from a cheap TV tower with pieces of copper wire run down the legs, since it was so rusty. The single studio was full of homebrew junk, a couple cart machines and a turntable. I was looking for a cart machine and went to see if they had one fore sale. They claimed they had sold all the equipment to another station for $20,000. What a joke!
