Birthday Celebration with WSM-AM

One thing I always hate hearing someone say is, “they never play country music on the radio.”  Open your ears and you will find country music on the radio.  In fact, one of those stations just celebrated its 89^th birthday and I joined in on the celebration.

WSM 650 AM out of Nashville, Tennessee has been going strong for 89 years this week.  It is also the home of the legendary Grand Ole Opry program.  You can hear the station live on the radio (even up here in Kentucky with a little bit of static), online at www.wsmonline.com, and via the Tune-In app or the WSM app on your smart phone.  Talk about technology over the years.  My grandparents would have to listen to just the radio and now I can listen to the station anywhere and everywhere I go for the most part!
