Yes, it was "all train wrecks, all the time."  And a short playlist.  I
recall hearing "Thanks For Sunshine" by the Bill Gaither Trio three times in
one day -- and I wasn't listening constantly by any means.  There were no
computers used for music scheduling in 1973, of course.  Live DJ's also.
And the DJ's weren't permitted to make any comments that were "religious" in
nature.

I hope there aren't any typos in this; I've got a cat trying to lie on the
keyboard.  Back, Fang!
