I must admit to feeling that I need to tune away from WHHP FM (blues, bluegrass and Americana music) out of Farmer City, Illinois, these days to listen to 106.3 WGCY out of Gibson City. I have been doing this the last several times after driving by the station. They say they play "Beautiful Music" something I'm not too keen on, but, so help me, I sure enjoy it now. Must be an age thing.
They played the not-so-beautiful "Louie, Louie," but then, there I was sing along to "Guantanamera" and "By the Time I Get to Phoenix." And the last one was one of those light strings arrangements. I'm doing that right now for some reason, despite listening to the Drive's A to Z on 97.1 FM right now.
Then came "Come to Me Baby" by the Beach Boys and "Rhinestone Cowboy," this time by the real Glen Campbell.
This is a weak station and I was soon out of range and went back to WHHP. And, you'd sure expect to hear a show like the Mid-Day Farm Market Report out of a radio station in Farmer City.
Continuing north I saw all of the windmills at the huge wind farm by Odell were stopped. I've never seen them all stopped at once.

The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
