Salutations™!!
My closing was cut off and the first hour repeated its intro, but nothing else was bad. Yay me! This week’s theme was the 50th Anniversary of Hip-Hop. So, two hours of rap and hip-hop, most of it from the earlier days. As my wife, The BCPF, pointed out, it was a sausage fest and I apologize for that, but in the early days, it was mostly men. Anywhat! Here’s the playlist…

Do you have ideas for show topics? I’d really love to hear your ideas because eventually (any day now), I’m going to run out of things to talk about out of my feeble brain.
Also, you don’t have to be “local” to listen. We are an internet-based radio station and are licensed to broadcast anywhere in the US, Canada, and the UK.
Your next question may be: well, how do we listen? We have you covered on that. The Camel City Radio app is available on both the Apple Play and Google Play stores, so we are compatible with any iOS or Android device. Also, we now have our Alexa Skill. All you have to do is say, “Alexa, play Camel City” and Bob’s your uncle. You don’t even have to say “radio” (because she takes me to some weird Pandora channel). Just “Camel City.”
You can comment here, send an email or call 336-462-8660 and leave a voicemail. We will play your VM on the air (unless you tell us not to.
Until next time, same blog channel at some blog time…
Scorp out!
