Cybershortwave July 8, 2001 Twenty Five years ago! This broadcast was prior to our country music format. But we always found a way to include country music and news into the program. On this show we remember the passing of Chet Atkins and Johnny Russell. This is an abbreviated clip of that show.  Special Note: Most of the E-Mail, chat room, and web sites mentioned no longer exist. Your best bet to...

Cybershortwave June 6, 2004 This broadcast was prior to our country music format.

Cybershorwave May 23, 2004 Dave's pre-show comments about Three (3) minutes until show time. Show open and Dave's opening comments.  This was before our full time Pioneers of Country format, so there's a lot of old time music that's not exactly country music.
