All Radio and Song of the Trip

We never once put a cassette (that's right, we special-ordered a cassette deck in our 2003 Malibu)or CD into the car radio and just listened to various stations the whole, nearly 3000 mile trip. Unless the station was playing a lot of songs of the type we like (Oldies, Classic Rock, Country) I'd push the seek button and go on to another station.


Heard a lot of really great stations, and, of course, listened to the Surf, 94.9 FM out of North Myrtle Beach from outside of Wilmington and all the way to Florence, SC. This is one great station and one that I'm listening to at this very moment on the internet. Good old Ted Bell can really play some great Beach Music.

Not too long, they also had Fessa John Hook whose Beach Music Knowledge is so deep its scary. Since then, the Fessa has gone on to establish the Endless Summer network which also plays Beach Music 24-hours a day. But, most of the time, it isn't live.

While in NC, I also listened to Jammin' 99.9 which plays some great 70s-80s music.


SONG OF THE TRIP

Without a doubt, the "SONG" of the trip is Kid Rock's "All Summer Long" which we first heard when the Coz man played it numerous and numerous times at Donovan's up in Twin Lakes, Wisconsin. We liked it then, but now it will also remind us of this trip. We heard it at least several times a day, and on both top 40, country, and even Beach Music stations. As a matter of fact, Ted Bell just played it a few minutes ago.

It Was Before the Internet. --RoadDog
