The Road Not Taken

"I shall be telling this with a sigh ... Somewhere ages and ages hence ... Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, ... I took the one less traveled by, ... And that has made all the difference."

The Road Not Taken --- Robert Frost

Those Were The Days

21 years ago yesterday (1/31/2003) Cox Radio pulled the plug on Fox 97. Gads! 21 years ago? Seriously? Seems like just yesterday, or the day before yesterday at the most. A little less than nine years later in October 2011, "The Randy & Spiff" show was taken off life support ending our incredibly fun (thanks to all of you) run on the airwaves of Atlanta. 

Cue Mary Hopkin! 

♫Once upon a time there was a station 
Where we used to spin a disc or two 
Remember how we laughed away the hours 
Good Times and Great Oldies we would do. 

Those were the days my friend 
We thought they'd never end 
We’d play the songs we loved in our heyday 
We'd live the life we choose 
We'd fight and never lose 
For we were young and sure to have our way. 

Then the busy years went rushing by us 
Fox 97 died along the way 
If by chance you see me in the Walmart 
We'll smile at one another and we'll say 

Those were the days my friend 
We thought they'd never end 
We’d play the songs we loved in our heyday 
 We'd live the life we choose 
We'd fight and never lose 
For we were young and sure to have our way. 
La la la la...Those were the days, oh yes those were the days♫
