3.2.07 - The band would like to say thank you to "The Loop" 97.9FM WLUP Chicago for playing "Rock & Roll Chicago" last Saturday as part of their Deep Cuts weekend. This was the first time the song has been on that station's airwaves since 1980 when M&R Rush was chosen to be on their first hometown album. "Rock & Roll Chicago" became the most requested song off the "Chicago Rocks Vol 1" album and finished at #45 for the year at that station. A special thanks to Byrd for his kind words, to Bill Klaproth Assistant Program Director/Music Director for thinking of us and to everyone at the station for remembering us after all these years! "The Loop" 97.9 rocks!!
