I get a chance to buy some new music! Found a few items I was looking for, and came across a great song by Pookie Hudson of the Spaniels while listening to a 1971 Gus Gossert aircheck. I found it on a Jerry Blavat oldies collection, so into the great oldies machine here at the station it goes, and on our premium list. So here is what I have for our fundraiser that starts for 8 Track Flashback next Saturday 4/14/2012.
