One version of "Wild West End" that's pretty good is the live one from Alchemy. And it's interesting that KSCA had the positioning statement of "World Class Rock," because KFOG in San Francisco has the same slogan -- and they are a Triple A format. Love, love LOVE Dire Straits.

I kind of figured it was just me since I won almost every single giveaway they had. Por ejemplo:<br><br>1. Phish ladies t-shirt<br>2. Richard Thompson tickets @ the Sun Theatre (w/ band)<br>3.

Five for Fighting tickets @ the Mint<br><br>After they got rid of the DJs, there was no point in listening. While they weren't the most professional of radio people, they had heart, enthusiasm, excellent taste and took chances, personally and musically.

After they got rid of the DJs, there was no point in listening. While they weren't the most professional of radio people, they had heart, enthusiasm, excellent taste and took chances, personally and musically. I still miss them as though they were good friends that moved on.

Yeah, ironically a handful of DJs from the station are still floating around local (Rochester, NY) radio. I believe one even hosts a drive-time slot.

If nothing else, their one and only compilation CD still gets some spins every once in a while…
