Boomer Radio

I have found a great Internet radio station called "Boomer Radio" that I listen to as I cruse the Internet. They have several "channels" but my favorite is the "Acoustic Cafe" which plays a smooth blend of Singer-Songwriters and Acoustic Rock.To quote their web site: "This is the perfect mix for your workday
or those quiet moments at home. Rediscover the music of:
Simon & Garfunkel, Boz Scaggs, James Taylor, Joni Mitchell,
Carole King, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and more." It's totally free but does have commercials.
According to their web site they will be soon , debuting many new channels of programming. Their plans
are to offer more than 20 channels of music and information. They expect the new
programming to occur in two phases. Here is what they have planned in Phase one:


"Cruisin' Oldies" - Pre-Beatles Oldies featuring Elvis, Chuck Berry, The Drifters, Jan &
Dean and more.

"All-Hit Oldies" - From the Glory Days of Top 40 Radio - The Beatles, The Four Tops,
Tommy James & The Shondells and others

"Back to the 70s" What a great decade of music! We'll feature a broad mix of Pop,
Rock and Disco.

"Adult 80s" - This is not your typical 80s music channel. We'll be spotlighting the best
Adult Artists including Fleetwood Mac, Gloria Estefan, Steve Winwood and Cyndi Lauper.

"Soft Oldies" - Many of the best Oldies never get played on the radio, because they're
a bit on the mellow side. This channel showcases performers like Roberta Flack, The
Carpenters, The Fifth Dimension, Kenny Rogers and others.

"Vintage Rock" - This is definitely the soundtrack of the Woodstock Generation. We
take you back to a time when FM radio played Jimi Hendrix, Iron Butterfly, The
Chambers Brothers and The Jefferson Airplane.

"The Lush Life" - Some music is timeless. This channel features "Pop Standards"
performed by Frank Sinatra, Barbra Streisand, Harry Connick Jr., Diana Krall
and others.



I love it. (To go to their web site click on the title above for a link.)
