COMMENTS
JJ & Lisa (monteknights.com, montecarloforum.com), Norman OK:
“We loved the show. Can’t wait till next weekend.”
“Hey Cort…i got just about everyone in the chat room tuned into the broadcast. WOOHOO!! How about a shout out to MonteKnights.com?”
Chris (aunt), Elgin IL: “You’re playing some of my favorites — Randy Travis, Suzy Bogguss, Roger Miller.”
Steve (achaheart.org), SC:
“Wow! I don’t think I’ve heard King of the Road in … years!”
Bill (RacingOne.com):
“GREAT show Cort, nice to sit back and listen to good music you don’t hear that often on the radio!!!”
Ann, McHenry IL:
“Sounding good, Cort! Nice selection of songs. We laughed earlier when we heard the old hippie song. Haven’t heard that one in a long time, and got a kick out of hearing it again.”
Phyllis, Elgin IL:
“Quite a nice selection of music and recording artists. You have a good voice for broadcasting and interesting background to the music played.”
Ray B (El Camino List), Taylorsville, UT:
“I’ll be listening…even to the c/w stuff. :)”
Dave (several MC boards), NY:
“Cort, you did a great job last night, always enjoy it, even though you don’t play my kind of tunes.”
Mike (blue02SS, 2000montecarlo.com), TN…
“I want to say that I have a problem keeping the station on one channel most of the time. I like variety in my music. I just wanted to say that I thoroughly enjoyed every song you played today. I was listening while I did my college work and just loved every song.”
Rick (blueSSteel, 2000montecarlo.com), VA…
“I’ve been listening today…. You’re doing a great job with a great selection of old songs….”
John (chevytalk.org)…
“Even when I asked if you took requests I didn’t know what I’d ask for. You scored a bull’s-eye before I had to think about it.” [David Allen Coe’s, “The Ride”]
Lorraine (valvereplacement.com), IL…
“You’re song choices are pretty cool! Quite a variety!”
RacinRay (racedaynews)…
“You’re a natural talking into the mic….”
Allen K (listening from FL)…
“It was a good program with a good variety of songs. I was working on a power point presentation while I listened; you made the work much easier.”
