Vassilis - Athens Greece

I am on computer watching the radar as we are in the path of severe weather and need to stay informed. We had bad tornados yesterday in western Oklahoma and expect more today. I love listening to you on the internet and heard some of my best favourites today. Thanks

Nice mix of music from the time when I was growing up! I've even heard a few things that are new to me. Keep up the good work.

I'd love to hear a lot more content from British artists of the 1950s. I am a Scottish immigrant living in the USA for the past 40 years and I'd love to hear some more of the British artists that I grew up with even though America still dominated the pop charts around that era. Love the station nevertheless.
