Born May 27, 1935 in Chicago, Illinois, many might ask why we are highlighting this man who is well known as a jazz pianist. Don't forget that he had several singles cross over into the Top 40 charts including "The 'In' Crowd" that hit number 5 in October 1965. So, on his 86th birthday, KoHoSo Radio 66 salutes...
Ramsey Lewis!
We used to have a lot of listeners in Ukraine before February 24th. This is the first one we've seen since then. It is truly bringing a tear to our eyes that, with all that has happened, somebody there is choosing to listen to our station. 🇺🇦 #ukraine
Are you using Mastodon through a computer?
Do you wish there was a multi-column TweetDeck-style interface?
There is! It's called the "advanced web interface" and you can activate it any time you want. It lets you add many specialised columns, subscribe to hashtags and all kinds of stuff suited to large wide displays.
Log into the website, go to Preferences > Enable Advanced Web Interface, tick the box and click "Save Changes".
(To restore the default single column interface, do the same thing but untick the box instead.)
This used to be the default interface on Mastodon, and very old articles about the platform will have screenshots of the multicolumn interface.
Sadly a mostly forgotten artist, this gentleman made some great songs in the early days of Motown. This includes his original version of "Devil With the Blue Dress" that was later made a bar band staple by Mitch Ryder & The Detroit Wheels.
Born May 20, 1940 in Birmingham, Alabama, today we salute...
Shorty Long!
We just discovered that our website is down. Please be patient while we work with our web host to get it back online. If our site is how you normally access our stream, you can use our page on Live365 or at most of the major third-party streaming directories.
This morning here in SoCal, we are working on a new promo announcement to promote our presence here on @Mastodon. Igor is going to be a part of it so we hope you'll really enjoy it.
We believe we found and changed all the links to "the bird site" on our website to our Mastodon Social page. If you see we missed one, please let us know.
Stevland Hardaway Morris was born May 13, 1950 in Saginaw, Michigan. While his most important work was done after the era of music we play on the station, there's no doubt his early songs are great as well. In fact, he's now known as a musical genius. Happy birthday to the man we all know as...
Stevie Wonder!
Here is our blog post regarding our move from Twitter to here on Mastodon.
Due to the fact that Twitter no longer allows those without an account to view more than a few tweets before requiring a reader to log in, KoHoSo Radio 66 is moving all of its microblogging activity here to Mastodon. We will introduce ourselves more fully here later as time allows. For now, just know we are a NON-COMMERCIAL online oldies radio station. We are not here to spam or flood. We simply want ALL people to be able to get our updates without having to give away personal information.
Commercial-free online oldies radio station playing the greatest music of the mid-20th century! Come get that perfect feeling of driving down the Mother Road!
