God, I feel like I'm in a time warp. A Hemingway time warp.
Don't know how-in-the-Christ I did it, but I managed to stumble upon this oldies station online -- WKHR 91.5 Cleveland. Yes, Cleveland ...
And this just isn't another oldies station, mind you. There's no doo-wop, girl groups or rock 'n roll here. No, we're talking big band, swing and jive from the '20s through the '40s. Amazing.
I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Even though you can hear this stuff, uninteruppted on satellite radio, it was completely refreshing to hear voices after these grand swingin' tunes as if these were the pop tunes of the day.
I imagined myself myself sitting somewhere at a drugstore counter, sipping a vanilla Coke and eyeing up a cutie-pie waitress.
