This playlist is a personal attack.

a) WIDB was awesome. I wish I had more time there.

b) College radio isn't an algorithm.

Better radio memories:

The late former Gov. Jim Edgar's portrait on the second floor still dawned with mourning shrouds.

Sandbars, timber, and what remains of the Sangamon River today as viewed from the Sangamon Valley Trail bridge. Keep the rain coming (after I get home)!

A beautiful day in Springfield to pay your respects.

Did you know then-Secretary of State Jim Edgar oversaw a rehabilitation of the Capitol dome? We enjoy the vibrant, interior colors instead of decades worth of tobacco stains and soot because of his leadership.

"The moderate ILGOP ended on 12/10/2014."

Noticed that yesterday in the QOTD comments on @capitolfax.bsky.social and revisited this past weekend her tribute at the State Fairgrounds.

Sadly, she is gone. I have trouble accepting her hopes died that day, too. Have we forgotten already?

One of these screen captures is from World Series '96 for SEGA Genesis.

The other is from Gameday in the MLB At Bat app, August 27, 2025.
