I listen to oldies country too, but all am around here is talk radio. I would get in trouble with Jeannie again if I said what I actually call talk radio---LOL!
Fortunately someone recently started an fm oldies country station!

Nothing like driving it in the winter, wing windows open to keep airflow on the windshield so it didn't fog over. Fun times...
Yeah I had to use the wing window method with the '70-72s I drove year round for decades. The defroster vent design on them basically clears a round hole that ain't quite the right height to see through without slouching!

Is it spring yet?

You guys be safe if you have to go out there in your trucks. It's nasty across most of the US!
-3* here right now, got to -13* last night supposed to get down to -15* tonight. We are the warm spot in the area. 75 miles northeast they are talking -25* to -30* tonight. I forgot to say that our high today at work was +2*! Unfortunately I had to be out in it for most of the day.
