142.68.223.244
A quick correction -- The correct call numbers for Radio Freemantle is 107.9 FM originating from Hamilton Hill, western Australia near the cities of Freemantle and Perth. Sorry for the seniors moment Geoff - Take care everyone !!

: As always, thanks for listening and for your
: kind comments, Roy. Listeners like you make
: it all worthwhile. Every year, on the
: Thursday closest to July 31, we present a
: programme totally dedicated to Jim's memory.
: After 20 years of broadcasting, it still
: never fails to bring that special feeling of
: nostalgia that only Jim's voice can
: resurrect. No matter how good other singers
: sound, none come within a country mile of
: the gentleman from Panola County. There's
: Jim Reeves ... and then there are the
: others!

: After listening to ''Creative Country''
: Thursday morning (Eastern time) 790 Radio
: Freemantle, when host Geoff Simons
: introduced a song by Dave Dudley, I decided
: to do a further search of Dave's career on
: the net. As Geoff mentioned on air, Dave
: actually became involved in recording, only
: after an arm injury ended his career as a
: minor professional baseball player -- sound
: familiar ?? Similary, his biggest hits and
: popularity happened in the 60's. In the 80's
: his popularity resurged when he found that
: there was a large fan base support in
: Europe, again similar to Jim's career in the
: 60's. Dave's biggest hit 'Six Days on the
: Road' which became his signature song, was
: released in 1963.Just thought this made for
: reading. By the way, Geoff closed his show
: with 'Adios Amigo' by Jim, always so much
: appreciated whenever I hear his voice on the
: radio, or in this case on the web feed.
: Thanks Geoff !!
: Forever a Fan
