Philadelphia radio has had a bit of a shake-up in formats. One station, named "Alice" just recently changed over to an older Adult Contemporary format and are calling themselves "Sunny". I wondered if I'd hear any Carpenters, and on day one I did. They played "We've Only Just Begun." It's always pleasant to hear a Carpenters track coming out of the radio!
Today at lunch, while surfing around the radio dial, I had an even bigger Carpenters surprise: I heard "Because We Are In Love (The Wedding Song)" on another station. This FM station's a bit of a flakey one -- it's based in South Jersey (not that there's anything WRONG with that!), and they play a mix of brokered religious programming, and when they don't sell anything, they mix in some pretty eclectic songs. While listening today, I heard:
Ricky Nelson
Ferrante & Teicher
Carpenters
Doris Day
Anyway, it was a nice change to hear a not-so-worn-out Carpenters record on the radio -- even if it is one of my least favorites.
