Sounds great doctor. Like the variety. Haven't heard some of those songs anywhere on FM in ages.
 
Very eclectic music mix I must say. It definitely challenges traditional format boundaries, but if it works for your market... it works.

And ironically.. we're debating a slight image tweak here... and "Real Music Variety" is our frontrunner for our new slogan.
