One radio station in buffalo played a lot of the new music of the day,
it was called the "Rock And Roll Animal" fm station....

That radio station was the start one of the first conversations I had
with your brother back in 1983 at the Mill, when Jeffrey came into the
break room wearing a "Rock and Roll Animal" t-shirt from that radio
station.

They played some good records on that station, every night around
Midnight they would have the "album hour" where they would play an
entire album....

I used to pick up an Atlanta station WRFG late at night when I lived in
La Grange, album hour at Midnight, good album tracks through the night.
