@thedungeondelver If only Obama hadn't dismantled the Horn of Urgency on the observation deck of the White House... :o(

I went through this storm in Harrisburg PA (as a first responder) and it was quite an experience. With 3' of snow falling between Saturday AM and Sunday AM (7" per hour from 6-7 PM Saturday night with thundersnow), coupled with 50mph gusts, we had to travel (at times) through 5' drifts on side st...

The tune is so upbeat, yet has lyrics with beyond-obsidian undertones. It's like a scary clown with chocolate; you're tempted to approach, but afraid of what you'll end up with. :o) Can't wait to see what other creative gems this group has lurking in their songbook.

70s-early 80s version: yo...

I, too was a big fan of 6's format & personalities in the mid-90s (I worked right across the street from them and was an occasional "honker" on City Line during the evening drive home), but admit to really liking this package, which mirrored KYW-AM's format. I also liked the WBBM package used by ...
