SoCal FM radio casualty

Any of you SoCal members listen to the last hours of our 1 of 2 R&R stations sign off yesterday?

I tuned in the new station to hear what's going on...OUCH!
As primarily a listener ofNPR news,Classical and Jazz, I still like to get the LED out, now and then.
There must be a growing demographic for awful, pop with "a message?"  

Guess I'm feeling nostalgic...sure do miss 70's Rock radio.

There used to be some really great FM stations out of L.A. and Long Beach. Anyone remember KNOB out of Long Beach and a DJ named Sleepy Stein?

If you're from that era did you ever make it up to Hermosa Beach and frequent the Lighthouse? I spent many a night there listening to the Lighthouse Allstars. Great jazz. 

Check it out ...

The Sunday at The Lighthouse album has a lot of audience noises. Most of their other albums on Contemporary have excellent sound. Here's a whole list of CD's for sale on Ebay:
