We’re Baaaack … finally!

• Radio Streaming Information • No Comments

To quote an old movie “We’re Baaaack …” … finally!

The streaming computer that lost its power supply has been fixed and is now back up and running! I just programmed a couple of days into the playlist and – the stream is streaming as it should!

Thank you for all your patience while we were playing the same songs over and over again. I will look into setting up something a little less repetitive so if this happens in the future we won’t be stuck in repetition world!

As a thank you for all you have gone through – the stream is going to play with absolutely no commercials from this point forward.

Oh yeah — we were already doing that! Nevermind … <insert smiley face emoji here>

Keep classic rockin’!

Catastrophic Computer Failure (Update)

• Radio Streaming Information • No Comments

As you probably know by now – the station’s streaming computer failed a few days ago. It has been diagnosed – and the good news is that no data was lost. The bad news in that the power supply shorted out – and it has to be replaced. The really bad news – is that because it is the long weekend – I won’t be getting it back until Tuesday. (Very Bad Timing).

What you are hearing now is a backup stream that is only supposed to be played for short durations while the main stream is down. It has nowhere near the list of songs that play on the main stream. Hence you are hearing songs repeat every day or so.

I am very sorry for the inconvenience. I appreciate your patience! I will do everything I can to get the stream back up as soon as possible.

Catastrophic Computer Failure

• Radio Streaming Information • 2 Comments

Last night – the computer that I use to program, update and stream the music that plays on Choice Classic Rock failed to start after a hard shutdown. There is some kind of power issue happening.

The backup music kicked in and that is what you are currently hearing on the station. This stream was meant to play for a few minutes while the main computer was updated, etc. However, it will be playing for awhile now – while the main computer is repaired and/or replaced. I have been told this could take up to a few days (hopefully faster).

Thank you for your patience …

The Flower Power Hour

We interrupt our regular programming with … The Flower Power Hour.

Anyone who was listening to Choice Classic Rock this past Saturday evening between 8pm and 11pm – Central time – heard something different from our normal programming:

Please welcome to the Choice Classic Rock family, a wonderful show called The Flower Power Hour.

The show features music from the Golden Age of Flower Power – the 60’s and 70’s, plus like-minded tunes from the 80’s right up to today.  The show is hosted by the husband and wife team of Ken and MJ Rundel, who create their show from the George Carlin Studio, in the Bamboo Peace Palace, in Eureka Springs, Arkansas.

I promise Ken and MJ will rekindle your spirits with great album rock, including deep tracks you’ve forgotten or never heard of. Plus, you’ll be turned on to the best new music coming out today.

The Flower Power Hour will be heard every Saturday evening on Choice Classic Rock, from 8pm to 11pm Central time.  If you need to calculate what time that is in your end of the world – please use this handy dandy time zone converter.

First off … Happy New Year from Choice Classic Rock! I hope that 2022 finds you happy, healthy and rockin’ to the sounds of Classic Rock!

I have added 26 new songs into high rotation on the playlist. Listen for brand new songs from the following artists:

  • Bryan Adams
  • Chuck Berry
  • David Bowie
  • Eric Clapton
  • Elvis Costello & The Attractions
  • Deep Purple
  • King Crimson
  • John Mellencamp
  • Robert Plant & Alison Krauss
  • Slash ft. Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators
  • Tears For Fears
  • Tommy Iommi
  • Eddie Vedder
  • The Waterboys
  • Neil Young & Crazy Horse

I have also refreshed the promos and sweepers that you have been hearing for the past several (many) months. Hopefully you find the new ones funny and/or engaging – or at least not too boring/lame!

Lastly, I have spent the last six months going through my music collection (see the photo above for a glimpse of part of it), and have added over 3000 new songs into the different parts of the playlist. There are now over 14,000 songs in rotation on Choice Classic Rock. Some of the more well-loved ones you will hear more often, but you are guaranteed to go months before hearing some songs repeat. My hope is that it keeps the playlist fresh for you – and you keep coming back to hear new songs! You can click here to see a list of artists that have songs in rotation on the station. Let us know via the contact page if you think we are missing an artist that deserves to be played!

Once again – Happy New Year and all the best in 2022! Keep it tuned to Choice Classic Rock for the very best in classic rock music.

Stay safe!
