Mighty Good Traveling Radio Station-- Beach Music

Well, we made it to the warm, sort of. Earlier this week, temps were in the 70s here in Panama City, but low 60s today and a definite cold in the air. But still better than at home which actually got over freezing for the first time in wekks.

Yesterday, while doing the seek on the radio, I came across a station that surprised me by playing Beach Music, and that was Beach 95 One, 95.1 FM. I did not know they had beach music this far off the Atlantic coast. They refer to it as Panama City Beach, Beach Music. They also play oldies about two-thirds of the time, but not jut a few same-old, same-olds. They dig deep down for half of these oldies.

I guess they have several stations, as I also got it on 106.3 FM and its coverage area goes from Panama City to Destin, Florida.

To give you an idea of what they play, here is a set list from 2 pm. Probably the only drawback of the station, however, is that they don't say the songs. ?- Not sure * Beach Song

Western Union-- Five Americans
So In Love-- Tymes*
Dock of the Bay-- Otis Redding
That Girl-- Gene Chandler
Thank You John-- Willie Tee*
Oh, Carol-- Chuck Berry
Ain't No Mountain High Enough-- Gaye and Ross?
Why ?*
La La La Means I Love You-- Delfonics
It Doesn't Matter Anymore?-- Buddy Holly
First Impressions-- Catalinas?*
Da Doo Ron Ron-- Ronettes
Ruby Tuesday-- Rolling Stones
It's Gonna Rain?--*
River Deep, Mountain High-- Supremes & Four Tops?
What'd You Do That For? -- ?
Walk Away Renee-- Left Banke
Big Rear Window-- ?*
Patches-- Clarence Carter

Now, That's One Really Good Line Up. Like they say, "Good Times, Great Music, and Lots of Beach Music." "We don't play the same 200 songs over and over and over." "You know, that sand gets into everything, and we love our Beach Music."
"Not your typical oldies station."
