Waking up to In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida on WRMI 5800
« on: May 27, 2019, 0937 UTC »
A quick tune around 49 meters this Memorial Day morning and I hear the sound of In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly emanating from WRMI-5800 at 0924 UTC. I remember hearing this song well back as a teenager in the 60's during the wee hours of the morning on local WHYN-AM 560 when we would camp out in our fort during the summer months. That handy Radio Shack transistor radio purchased with my paper route money allowed me to hear such things. The long version of the song was cool, as was the long version of "Light My Fire" by the Doors. Sadly the powers that be at WRMI saw fit to cut off the Iron Butterfly tune half way into the drum solo. Just saying.....

I don't think that's happened to me since HS. The local AOR station went off at 2 a.m. and came back on at 6 a.m. blasting. I don't know how many times I went to sleep with my headphones on and got bounced wide awake in the morning by some old rocker?

Sunday mornings were the worst. Fire and brimstone preachers until regular programming began at 10 a.m. That was a one time lesson you didn't repeat twice.
