I think it's a great idea. "Strawberry Wine" is a good song. But it not only is it not legendary or classic, but it ain't even a drinking song. It's a song about a young girl getting it on with a guy with the help of some wine coolers. They radio station obviously is not in tune with what's what. Give 'em a great show and blow their boots off!!

It looks like it's that way all over, we had a classic country station here, and they played "your country hits of the 50s,60s and 70s", Yeah , right, half the songs where actually from the 80s, and a few from the last 15 yrs, I use to call and ask, and they said they don't make the play list, and they thought they where old songs? When I asked for a classic country song , they would say we only play the top hits of those decades, and several times I had requested an old number 1 or top 5 song? I guess that wasn't "top" enough for them. Webb pierce had more number ones than anyone in the 1950s, (20+), and they never would play any of his songs, or any Freddie Hart, or Hank snow, and you will think I am exaggerating, but they only played two Hank Williams songs, they said Hank and Webb where to twangy??? (have you listened to today's over emphasized deep southern accents and twangs?) apparently the DJ got the job because he went to radio school, not because he knew anything about country music, you may have the same situation. well the station here is gone, gone over to this new age quasi rock country, and there Idea of Friday night oldies is from the 90s. S I got xm radio and listen to "hanks place", now that's country legend music. I think your show of music extravaganza will be a good thing, they may not get the message, but at least they'll be some good music in the air for a few hours!

Hey Okiefan !!!
The only station in the Dallas area that plays classic country music also plays, what we call, Texas Music. Almost all of the new artists are from Texas, live in Texas, or call some part of Texas their home. It's an amazing station. The DJs aren't all that good... except for the 3PM to 5PM.... but there's a load of good music !!!
They have folks come by quite often to chat and play live... Something you don't hear anymore... Johnny Bush, Max Stalling, Wayne Hancock, Ray Wiley Hubbard, Ray Benson, and many others.

Well the plan is certianly origianl. Have fun with it. I hope the towns people like your band. The dj will get the hint sooner or later and you will give him/her somthing to talk about between songs! Play away! The local country station I listen to has a classics show on sundays form 7 or 8 to noon and the "newest" they play is late 80's. Again have fun, and annoy that dj !!! Please report back on the outcome, I am sure many will be wanting to know now.

By All Means "Strawberry Wine" is Nowhere near Classic Yet

probably a syndicated show.....
classic country weekend this weekend has craig morgan on it. and he's just been around s few years.
they try to appeal to all ages.....
The classic country fan who is at least 55 years old and -- with a few exceptions -- often dislikes country music produced after 1990, around the time Garth Brooks rose to fame. A frequent criticism is that much post-1990 country music is inferior to that of classic country artists and that the newer music is little more than repackaged pop and rock music, particularly the music of artists such as Shania Twain and Faith Hill.
Both stereotypes are often unfair. Many younger people have purchased music from and are self-proclaimed fans of classic country artists such as Johnny Cash and Hank Williams. Many older listeners to country music do indeed enjoy newer music from artists like Kenny Chesney and Gretchen Wilson as well as the classics. ABC Radio's satellite-delivered Real Country radio format is an example of an approach that combines country oldies dating back to the 1960s with select current and recurrent hits.
There are a few artists who cross this dividing line between age groups. Dolly Parton is one such artist, being popular with the young and old alike.

all this will do is tick him off and you'll have a war on your hands. he's playin the music to attract certain types of listeners and advertisers. a better way would be to have your buds and you flood the phone lines with classic requests, during the entire two hours, that will skew the ratings and demographics & they'll have to change the music line up

Okiefan, if I still lived in Peoria, I swear I would "make the trip" one of those weekends. That sounds like a ton of fun!!
