<font face="times new roman" size="3" color="660033">Driving home from a job the other evening, I was scanning the AM band when my radio landed on 1230. Even though I was in East Amherst, the signal was strong and clean. For a split second, hearing Charley Rich crooning The Most beautiful Girl In The World, I thought WECK had returned to the Music Of Your Life format.
After Charley Rich had finished, reality kicked in and it was clear that WECK was firmly rooted in classic country. In the mood to hear some American Standards, I manually scanned to 740 CHWO. How ironic that I sought a Canadian station to hear American Standards. CHWO delivered, as the Inkspots were part of a feature segment. How very suave these genteelmen were, recalling an era when voice, harmony and melody counted for something more pronounced.
Many words have been written here devoted to the absence of WECK and the aging demographics which the station attracted. I'm one baby boomer who very much enjoyed WECK and what it offered on those infrequent but special occasions when "standard transmission" was preferred.</font>
I bid you adieu.<P ID="edit"><FONT class="small">Edited by Mike Radknowski on 04/13/06 02:02 AM.</FONT></P>
