WNEW-FM

The best radio station I ever listened to regularly was the great WNEW-FM out of NYC. It was a staple, once FM radio became into its own being. So many fond memories of the listening experience exist, I only have the capacity to list a few notable memories. (More to follow) The DJs who helped shape the alternative music scene were: Scott Muni Vin Scelza Allison Steele Pete Fornatale Jonathan Schwartz Richard Neer WNEW-FM frequently broadcast live concerts from The Bottom Line in NYC, featuring iconic performances that became legendary in rock history. Key, widely-circulated recordings include: Bruce Springsteen (Aug 15, 1975) Patti Smith (Dec 27, 1975) Albert King (1976) David Bromberg (1977) I'll visit this later

So many natural supplements include CBD as a marketing ploy. I doubt that that chemical alone would suffice as sleep aid.  My observation is that it's just another snake oil gimmick. ...
