Welcome to the new True Country Classics! My name is Bobby Kane. In the mid 70s I was a radio DJ playing County music at KTOM in Salinas(Central California)and later at KMAK in Fresno. Besides performing my "afternoon drive" on-air duties, at KTOM I was Music Director. I had a great time and loved the music at that time. For my pleasure, and I hope lots of other people too, I wanted to kind of relive those happy times with some of that get down, Swinging', Honky-Tonkin', Outlaw County music. Some programing notes: I'm adding songs every day. Just because a song was #1, doesn't mean that I'm going to play it. You won't hear sad songs about mama or daddy either. More upbeat, positive songs and of course, relationship songs. Remember, it doesn't have to be old to be a classic. It just has to be good Country! You'll hear songs that are super old to songs that are not so old but they are all True Country Classics, the songs that matter. I hope you enjoy them. A listener just asked "Why do you play so many of those love songs when at the same time you play so many of those good old boy, rowdy songs?" Well, it's like this. We want to "touch" everyone so girls, next time you hear one of those rowdy songs, think about your man and guys, next time you hear one of those love songs, think about your woman. Enough said. My #1 of all time Country song pick: Crazy Arms by Ray Price. This song more than any other in my opinion captures the true Country music sound. My opinion was formed early on as I grew up in San Jose, CA listening to KEEN Radio. Thanks everyone for listening. A few recent emails: "I'm really glad I found this site.... country music in Ontario has been washed out by pop. It takes me back to my teens." - "Thanks for playing For The Good Times. I know it's about breaking up but it makes me think about my mother. It was her favorite song." - "Best station and music anywhere!" - "Great music one can never get tired of listening to. Real good country music. Keep it up,great job."
"Greeting from Australia! What a great station and what great music! Keep the beat going!" |

Merle Haggard
He's the absolute best! I saw him mid 70's in San Louis Obispo. What a show. It's easy to hear how he really feels every song he sings. My favorite: Silver Wings. You'll hear lots of Merle on TCC (True County Classics).
Ray Price
Unbelievable! He sings love songs like nobody else (For The Good Times) but at the same time he sings old-time Country like it was meant to be sung. Oh yea, you'll hear lots of Ray here as well. What a concert that would be: Merle and Ray together! I can only dream.
Asleep At The Wheel
Aren't we lucky to have their music. I just can't get enough of them. Your hard work will be appreciated for years to come. Good goin' guys.
