[BC] bcst radio when jfk was assasinated

[Tom]

Johnny Cash - Will The Circle Be Unbroken?

Willie Nelson - Blue Eyes Cryin' In The Rain (OK, that wasn't recorded 
yet in '63...)

Sheesh!  probably a third to half of the country songs are 
religious-themed...

This Old House... Rock Of Ages...

Too many to name... Think "Gospel" (not Urban Gospel; that was later as 
a format).  All the records you'd play on Sunday without breaking 
format.....

Now, regarding Rock n Roll, you may have a point...
