kmen129.com Memorial Day

Anyone listen to the Kmen Rewound Memorial Day?


They played airchecks, jingles, promos and mostly sixties music.
Harley wants to know what you thought about it.


What did you like or dislike about it? Any suggestions?
Should there be another day like it?
There could be another one with more/different airchecks/jingles if anyone wants more.


Comment here or at kmen129.com and Harley will read your suggestions/comments.
