SoCal FM radio casualty

"Not sure about the exact situation in your region, but don't many stations migrate to internet radio? As a listener, I have moved over as well, and without any regrets."

willemj-my dispair occurs only in my car, which isn't equipped with "modern" technology-no Bluetooth to stream from a device.

At home, my Mac MR71 serves me well. I've read   mixed reviews comparing GOOD FM tuner vs. Internet/service.. Since I dont use either at home, so can't comment on SQ.

oregonpapa-the station was located on top of  Signal Hill, a small incorporated area in the middle of Long  Beach. I ride my bike up that hill regularly. The area is now over priced homes, and a plaque reminding  people what used to be there. 

Down the hill, was a club called the Foothill where many big Country  names performed during the 40/50's. By the 70's it was a dump, changed a few hands, and now the area is unrecognizable with more over priced real estate.

Time marches on.....still rockin the ART9

oregonpapa-I did not have the good fortune of catching a gig at the Lighthouse during the Jazz heyday.
I do however, have a Contemporary label press of "Sunday Jazz  A La Lighthouse"
It was recorded sometime late 50's,early 60's. Great music.

I was still a very young child in the 60's, but thankfully was exposed to everything from my parents and older brothers via a Grundig console and a Sony R/R!

bdp24-Yeah, by 80's the Foothill was just a shell of what it was. I think I saw Screaming Jay Hawkins and the Blasters there.

I enjoy reading about your past  R&R exploits. Did you ever play at the Golden Bear in Huntington Beach? 

OP,

Cool stuff there..thanks! The noisy audience strangely has me craving a burger/fries...and a beer!

Off topic, prayers for our neighbors in the burn areas.
