The great thing about the 60s was the different types of music you hear on one radio station.
FM [E] radio wasn't available to people at the time.
So as a kid I would listen to one station and I would hear folk, rock, pop, soul, folk rock.
All different types of stuff.
And it was a great education growing up.
I [A] love that music in the 60s.
