[BC] Country Music plight in top towns

[gRAdy Moates]

    Ah, memories. . . 

    I worked for WMZQ in the beginning. . . 

    I remember distributing balloons at the Waylon & Willie 
concert (promoted by the competition) that had, "I MZQ'd 
at Waylon & Willie" in bright green ink on yellow balloon 
stock.  

    I still have a pair of shorts that we used to wear when 
the MZQ softball team would play, that trumped, "I MZQ'd 
in my pants!"  I can't fit into them anymore.  

    When was that, 1979?  Before 'MZQ it was WMOD.
