I don't know how old you are. I guess I am giving away my age. Joe Costello was Michael Costello's older brother. Michael Costello was not a very good DJ, in my opinion. Joe Costello was a FM radio pioneer in the New Orleans area. In my opinion, he put FM on the map in New Orleans. I miss the days of Progressive Rock, when WRNO operated out of a hotel room on Causeway Boulevard. KAAY was also a dynomite rock station out of Little Rock. I still believe that FM was in its heyday during that period.....say.....late 60's to the mid 70's. Then the corporations began "buying up the airwaves" and bringing in "consultants" that told them what the public wanted to hear. In reality, they never had a clue. You can tell by the playlists and the music you have heard from these stations for the last 20 years. Listening to the same old stuff, over and over, really got old and made XM and Sirius a reality.
I like a lot of the music 106.3 is playing. I think that is a small station out of Houma. Their reception is weak, but when I get them, I enjoy listening.
Break out the C D's.
