A friend called KHWG Fallon/Reno, Nev.,to my attention a few months ago. Deep Classic Country, he said, including the old stuff. Songs even he didn't know. "The Mighty 750" turned out to be everything he promised, but there were also the KPIG-like liners (including a drop from Mel Tillis promising "10,000 watts of pure Country pork") and some spots that were like "Northern Exposure," but real, such as Fallon Bail Bonds: "If you ring, they spring" and "they finance"!
Here's KHWG at 12:14 p.m. yesterday:
Lynn Anderson, "Big Girls Don't Cry"
Roy Rogers, "Moonlight on the Prairie"
B.J. Thomas, "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head"
Loretta Lynn, "Fist City"
Tennessee Ernie Ford, "Kissing Bug Boogie"
Tanya Tucker, "Highway Robbery"
