One of the ruts that I was forced out of here in Roswell was listening to 94.9 FM. One day I woke up to my Radio playing Country. Now, don't get me wrong .. I like country..but I always wake up to a little ole Rock-n-Roll. It is no more. I never realized how much I listened to that station till it was gone.
So, for a complete change, I have moved my dial to 103.5 ( I think) to Santa Fe's classical music. This is a BIG change for me!
I do find myself wishing for that old rut. Sometimes, I find myself searching for the familiar but it is gone. C'est La Vie!
Seems a silly thing, how music really changes how we be-bop through the world. Roswell seems a bit more Majestic (Alien pun intended) while listening to Vivaldi....

It's always jarring when a radio station you're used to hearing suddenly changes its format with no warning! (That was the premise of the pilot for WKRP in Cincinnati though!)
I miss the original KLSK in Santa Fe. It started out as "Eclectic" -- everything from classical to reggae to rock to jazz to new age... you wouldn't hear the same song twice in a week. Loved it. But... the advertisers couldn't pigeonhole it for their customers, so it was too hard to sell advertising. They reigned it in quite a bit; still good but a little more predictable. Still didn't work. So they just turned it into Classic Rock. To announce the format change, they played "Stairway To Heaven" over and over for one full day. That lasted for a while, but I think later it changed to a Spanish station. No idea what it is now.
Have fun with your rut-emergence!!
Thanks Linda!! Stairway to Heaven..i love that song..it has been way to long since i have heard it!!
