This post is in reply to Bill Cunningham who made a comment about when he was in N.Y.C. and heard a radio station from FORDHAM UNIVERSITY in the Bronx.
Back in the late 80's and early 90's I used to listen to PAUL BAIN the D.J. who broadcasted every Thursday night live from that Bronx College, 8 to 11PM. He would play all the traditional C&W stuff including Western Swing.
On his show he would broadcast previous taped interviews of so many of the older C&W artists including the new comers at the time like Garth, Clint Black, Randy Travis & the older artist such as, Ray Price, Jean Sheppard, Porter Wagner etc.
I taped about 5 hours of his live radio show during various times, he would play 5-7 songs in a row. One night he played about 10 songs of Connie Smith one right after another, I still have those 5 hours on cassette tape.
He would play songs that had pedal steel on it that I never heard before.
He would also have live local bands. Those where the good old days and in place like New York City.
