I am not too crazy about most Chicago radio and the same redundant nonsense they play. There is an oldies station I listen too, and a Jazz/Easy Listening Station. I can only recall the following GL songs ever getting airplay:

- If You Could Read My Mind
- Sundown
- Carefree Highway
- Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald

Short list huh? :-(

There was one exception; there used to be this great syndicated show on sundays nights, for 2 hours only. They played everything low to mid-tempo across the board. And they would play "Beautiful" on occassion. This show was on for 20 years and suddenly with no warning, dropped. Boy, was I mad.
