The original WGTB radio at 90.1 FM. Were you a listener to and/or DJ on and/or fanatic of the original WGTB-FM? Have you never gotten over the demise of GTB?
Do you remember when "alternative music" actually meant something? This is your group. If you have any old photos or memorabilia you want to add, please do! If you have musings, favorite shows, memories you want to share, this is the place.
To save space on Google drive, I've moved some of the largest files to a local hard drive and replaced them online with a text file of the same name but with _askfor at the end. If you encounter one of these, just drop a message to this page and I'll re-upload the original on demand.
If you've gotten Google notifications about new files getting uploaded, it's just these askfor files, not new audio, sorry to say.
Peace!
Released exactly 48 years ago today, on November 14.
