Howdy. It's been my distinct pleasure to be in radio since I was just a kid. The fact that I've never really had to work for a living is a big comfort. I started in a small station in Thermopolis, WY and never looked back. I've pretty much always been enamored with small market radio. It's a profession that allows you to do nearly every single job, and hopefully excel at most of them. I'm proud to be associated with such a GREAT country station as KCGY Y95. Southeast Wyoming, Northern Colorado and Western Nebraska are truly fortunate to have such great quality Country 24/7. I'm always happy to throw the older stuff in with the top 20 selections we bring you. Thanks for listening the THE BEST COUNTRY IN THE COUNTRY. AND GO POKES!

Miranda Lambert – New Video a Masterpiece
Remember back in the day, when videos were just starting to show up on Country Television and such? They were basic to say the least.

And now, with the video for Over You, Miranda and her crew have knocked it out of the park.

Replace the Wyoming Family? Seriously? [OPINION]
Let me start by saying this. I was able to see Bachman Turner Overdrive AND Bob Seger in the fieldhouse waaaay back in the 70's. That concert was put on by The Associated Students of the University of Wyoming. I say that to tell you that I have high regard for ASUW. However, when it comes to replacing the Wyoming Family statue in Prexy's....well, they're wrong to do it. And here's why.
