Early in to our 9AM hour of the J and J Midday Show, Charter/Spectrum went down. At WION we like redundancy, and the only loss of service was to Lowell's transmitter site as the ONLY way we can get our audio there is via TWO internet compannies, Charter/Spectrum in Ionia and Comcast in Lowell. We're required to shut down if no audio is on the air, so it is shut […]

As posted on our friend Barry Scott's Lost 45's Page this evening.... The album below has to be my favorite of his, having traveled many miles in many vehicles over many years enjoying his storytelling style which added so much to the miles.
