Our 'Guardian Angels'
We'd like to recognize all the generous contributors who have helped us to remain on air. We have had many contributors to Always Country, but some have chosen to remain behind the scenes and we thank them the same as we do for the folks who have chosen to make themselves known to us and to you. We owe you all a debt of gratitude. THANK YOU!

To
be truthful, I never cared too much for country music. That was before Always
Country.
Raised, trained and professionally performing in the classical music arena, I was an orchestral and solo trumpet player for some 20+ years. [Ed. Note Ric, a graduate of the famed Curtis Institute, was also a member of U.S. Army and White House bands during his time in the military. He also spent duty playing Taps at the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National Cemetary.]
However, I ultimately also acquired an appreciation of country as well. Now, that may never have happended if it had not been "Gramps". He was guardian and mentor during several of my last years in a corporate business life. Subsequent to our both retiring from that world, he told me that he was starting a country Internet radio station. While certainly supportive of his initiative but previously unaware of his passion for the genre, I was a bit…okay, a lot skeptical. Boy, did he and all the wonderfully dedicated DJ’s of AC prove me wrong!
I could not personally be more proud of the Always Country family’s continuing efforts and talents to build world’s enjoyment of country music. Think about the number of countries that tune in 24-7! I originally thought Skeeter Davis’ "Angel of the Morning" (Gramps, I think I got it right this time) would have been an appropriate description of all of those who support Always Country. But perhaps "Guardian" better portrays the spirit of those of us who love, support and nurture the station and mostly those great folks who voluntarily make Always Country function. As an aside, a special thanks to DJ Cody for his talented Auto DJ selections.
Let’s all "push the envelope" on the current 750 expanded listener capacity. Tell your friends about Always Country keep this world-wide commercial free effort going. Mr. Bojangles and I are definately proud to support Always Country.
From our perspective, Ronnie Milsap kind of said it well from my standpoint with the song title, "Wouldn’t Have Missed It For The World".
Bo says "Let’s Dance" and "Thanks Gramps, the Staff, and all the Loyal Listeners". Oh yes, and Bo says hi to Dunford in NM.
