Hmm. That sounds familiar. Had a 50's sound, recommended against
playing with that dweeb, Bruno. It rings a bell, but I can't remember
for sure.
I'd be willing to bet the song was pro-tolerance.

Oops, my bad. I assumed Disney snarfed Radio Aahs, because when we
visited MPLS sometime ARA (after Radio Aahs), (a) Radio Aahs was gone
(that was a definite), (b) there was some new station called Radio
Disney (another definite) (c) which was broadcasting on or near the same
frequency, possibly the same station (or at least we thought so).
The truth is possibly worse. For the sordid details, see

I doubt it. Well, you could probably dig them up somewhere.
Three of the CDs are from a subscription, sort of a "CD of the Month"
club, except that each CD features a bunch of songs which were popular
on AAHS at the time. The fourth is called "Playing all day with Radio
AAHS".
