I'm sorry, I've been playing with my iPod. You got it Marty;

Freebird
Stairway to Heaven
Hotel California

I used to date a dj from KTYD in Santa Barbara, and learned more than I wanted to about radio. There is no longer any such thing as requests. Hasn't been for years. Oh, if you call up and request a song that happens to come across the playlist, you might hear your name mentioned, but it was a predetermined song. Have you ever wondered how it is a bands first release from an album goes to #1 before it's even played? Hehehe, it's actually kind of funny, it a sad way. 6 months before the scheduled air release of all albums, they are sent out to a few hundred "pre-screeners" whose only job is to decide their three favorite songs. They tally up the results, and the most popular song is released first, followed by the other two at 4 to 6 month intervals.

Take care,
-Chris
