WRMN 1410 AM, ELGIN IL

Show Information

12/12/2009, the radio station had issues with its online streaming; only people in the greater Elgin IL area were able to listen. Thus, I hosted a “make-up”, 03/13/2010. I pay WRMN to host these shows to play songs that bring back memories, even if the whole world has forgotten.
