I'm starting to wonder where the standards are on WERT after hearing the station today. There aren't really any more actual standards than on America's Best Music. But it could just be a bad day.
Out of six songs, two were from James Bond?Somehow the email draft I thought I saved wasn't saved so not all the songs after "Yellow Rose" are listed, and the ones that are listed are not in order, but starting with "Love for Sale" they are.
Brothers Four "Greenfields"
Claude King "Wolverton Mountain"
Everly Brothers "Cathy's Clown"
George Shearing "Lullaby of Birdland"
San Remo Golden Strings "Hungry for Love"
Bobby Darin "Mack the Knife"
The Lettermen "Traces/Memories"
Nancy Sinatra "These Boots Were Made for Walkin'"
Dinah Washington "Unforgettable"
Arthur Lyman "Love for Sale"
Booker T & the MGs "Time Is Tight"
Natalie Cole "Somebody I Used to Love"
Lawrence Welk "Calcutta"
Barbara Lewis "Baby I'm Yours"
Wes Montgomery "Watch What Happens"
Crests "Sixteen Candles"
Everly Brothers "Crying in the Rain"
Glen Campbell "Wichita Lineman"
Gene Pitney "Mecca"
Carpenters "Goodbye to Love"
Nancy Sinatra "You Only Live Twice"
Sandi Shaw "Always Something There to Remind Me"
Elvis Presley "Teddy Bear"
Les Elgart "Bandstand Boogie"
Vogues "Turn Around, Look at Me"
Carly Simon "Nobody Does It Better"

Sandy Posey "A Single Girl"
Neil Sedaka "Stairway to Heaven"
Duprees "You Belong to Me"
Jackie Gleason "Serenade in Blue"
Mindbenders "Groovy Kind of Love"
That's correct. Sometimes they play two songs by the same artist together because the artist was also in a group. I've heard the same artist as a soloist sometimes twice in one hour, or the same group, and there seem to be several cases of that here.Out of six songs, two were from James Bond?
Thank goodness! I love her liners, they have some humor and a nod to the nostalgic nature of the music. She is the voice of America's Best Music. The previous guy (I believe local) was a bit dry to listen to.I'm listening to WNAM while it plays Christmas music and that female voice who has been on since Jeff Rollins and Carl Hampton were let go is now doing all the station IDs.
For the station IDs she's serious.Thank goodness! I love her liners, they have some humor and a nod to the nostalgic nature of the music. She is the voice of America's Best Music. The previous guy (I believe local) was a bit dry to listen to.
If you enjoy listening to ABM, here are 2 affiliates with local elements inserted with the music.Actually, she does deliver those station IDs with somewhat more personality than the man did.
I've listened to WMST before, very small town community oriented. They give the obituaries, school lunch menu for the week, etc. Long live small town radio! The announcer giving the lunch menu is hilarious, making fun of that horrendous cafeteria food. Will have to give WTLO a listen.My go-to ABM affiliates for streaming have been WMST 1150 Mt. Sterling (Lexington area) and WTLO 1480 Somerset, both in KY. I've missed this format since it disappeared from mid-Michigan with 1180 WXLA's flip to Soft AC a while back.
When I was a kid, the local MOR station had a morning man, who rhymed the school lunch menu. He began there a decade before I was born and I thought his act was really hokey but he was always #1 and stayed for 35 years, retiring in 1979.I've listened to WMST before, very small town community oriented.
