Review of Border Radio: The Great Big Jukebox in the Sky

This is a pulsating tumbleweed tornado swooping through the ether - it reverberates exactly with the bygone days of driving through the Southern night twisting the dial hoping to hook something GOOD. No disappointment here -the amount of music, sound and good times that have been crocheted up into this mere hour is awesome. How many biscuits can I eat? More - my New Year's diet is history!
One comment - make sure stations have a very simple intro to give listeners a heads up that this fever dream is coming their way - like, "straight from Austin Texas, recorded live over an evening."
The extra tone I select is: exciting!
