I grew up in Buffalo. Many of the things I remember: when…read morechannel 2 was actually CBS (before that moved to channel 4), Freddies Donuts (long before Paula was born), Parkside Candies on Main and W Oakwood (the original location, made an appearance in "The Natural") peppermint ice cream sundays at HoJo in Niagara Falls when Main street was still drivable before the subway, just to name a few, are long gone. Some are even making a return now (drivable Main Street). Like fashion, some things just cycle. When I went to college in New England I did not know that my music tastes were "fashion forward" for many. I had that Canadian music influence of course, an uncle (black sheep) who went to Woodstock, had been to jazz festivals in many places and had a brother who was in a garage band (but then who didn't in Buffalo?). But many people I went to college with had not had any of these influences, or even a radio station that played anything other than country. Starting those drives home for the Holidays, I could tell you the moment various local radio stations (including Canadian ones) would come into tune on the NYS thruway. Then I moved to NYC. And started driving home again. And I knew when the stations came into tune from Rt 17. I wanted to hear that "Buffalo Music". We are a Hard Rock Town I have been told. I can't validate that. As a total news and politics junkie, I listen to Sirius radio news and politics stations now. But in Buffalo I'm happy to hear Styx, Genesis, The Who, Queen, even some Zeppelin at times. Coming back into Buffalo every holiday, and many other weekends, meant tuning into 97-Rock to see what was playing. I still do it now that I'm back. Singing along to those old familiar songs is a part of Buffalo for me. All this being said, I thought I was the "only one". Then my brother came to visit and the first thing he did at the airport was tune the radio to 97 Rock. He basically said what I just said, coming home means those oldies, comfortable like a favorite pair of jeans. That was about 5 years ago now. Then I went to an "Expat Buffalo" gathering in NYC. Other than the Bills and Sabres, the music choices & radio stations here were covered. Hilarious. Before wings and Molson, people talked about the radio stations they missed, the music they heard in Buffalo that they never hear on the radio anywhere else. I still don't listen to the radio often, but when I do, its only in Buffalo, and often 97 Rock. So 97 Rock is "a little bit Buffalo" to me, up there with Niagara Falls, FLW structures, Olmstead Parks, more than wings, beef on weck, sponge candy, and the Erie County Fair. That's why its my 1000 review for Yelp.

Are you sick of that new Bieber song yet? If so, set your FM dial to 102.9 and get transported to…read morean era of radio when all genres of music were played on a single station. Mac The Knife is only the beginning. As a music lover, WECK has been one of the most pleasant finds since I moved to Buffalo in 2013. They play standards and movie themes and mid century classics, as well as the cheesy love songs we hate to admit we know every word to - Olivia Newton John! If you're over 40 you will remember many songs from when you visited your grandparents and a radio was playing in the garage or kitchen. If you're under 30 and want to learn how American music changed and progressed over 5-6 decades, spend a few hours taking it in.
