Any other old farts out there who remember the top 40 am radio of the '60s and '70s? If so, try the Mark Simone Oldies show, on WABC radio and the internet:

If you don't remember, let me tell you what I liked about it. Way back before Sirius, XM, iTunes, video music TV or even FM radio, all there was were one or two AM music stations in each town. Today's music is so fragmented, but these stations played EVERYTHING - rock, pop, soul, vocal groups, folk, country. They were the only outlet so they had to please everybody. That's why so many people remember it so fondly. Plus we grew up with it - the songs, the DJs, the jingles, the contests - maybe it seems corny now, but hey we liked it.
I don't say it's for everyone, but sometimes it's fun to go back.
So, old folks - tell me your memories. Young folks - tell us what good newer music we may be missing, that we should try. I don't dislike new music, I just don't know it.
