Blech.  We used to listen to Radio Aahs, which was a very cool station
for kids, small and large.  We even toured the Radio Aahs broadcast
studio, in the Minneapolis area.

I live about a mile from where the studio used to be.

But then our local Aahs station went to all-talk, or all-sports, or
something.  And then Eisner Mouse bought Radio Aahs, and turned it into
that product-hyping triumph of synergy known as Radio Disney.
Double-Blech.

I still get a tear in my eye, everytime I drive on M-44 between Rockford
and Lowell, and catch sight of the trailer Radio Aahs used to haul to
events.

We've got 4 Radio Aahs CD's.  Collections of various stuff, ranging from
Kermit the Frog ("Rainbow Connection") to the Rembrandts ("I'll be There
for You").  Great stuff.

Yes, it was a fantastic radio station.  We used to get up every morning to that
song "G-Good Morning"  (I wish I knew who sang that and how I could get a copy of
it).  My kids were at just the right age for it, too.  Sad to see it gone:-(
