This is the "make-up" for the December 12, 2009, radio show I hosted. That evening, WRMN had issues with its online streaming; only people in the greater Elgin IL area were able to listen. I also hosted the show December 19, 2009, and a holiday edition (all Christmas music) the afternoon of Christmas Eve, December 24. I pay WRMN to host these shows to play songs that bring back memories, even if the whole world has forgotten:

** COMMENTS, DECEMBER 2009 **
John, Elgin IL Jaycees:
"I've been listening to your CD Showcase.... I really like your selection of songs...I love those old dusty songs from the 80's that remind me of those long drives to grandmas house on family vacations. I'm going to spread the word about your program."
Dave (twomanymontes), New York:
"It's not what I listen to, but Hey that’s what friends do...Support other friends!"
Joey R (Chevy_Crazy), ChevyTalk:
"Listening live to your show in Newfoundland."
Dennis (taught by my grandfather, Virgil Weimer), Edmond OK:
"Way to go Cort; thought I would drop in and say hello from me and all your friends along Route 66.... ... I liked your 'small world' vignette."
Lorraine, IL, ValveReplacement:
"You sound so good on radio! Glad I got to hear you again."
Scott B, Shelby Township MI:
"Lovin' the mix! Sorry I missed the previous shows. You've been great today, as has the set list."
Bill, RacingOne:
"You sound great, keep up the great work!!! Thanks for the show Cort"
