As he approached the church he heard music he recognized from his station. Perplexed, he asked the pastor if the church had bought a public address system to broadcast the program. The pastor laughed and replied that the woman asked her family to buy new batteries for her portable radio, tune it to HOXO at the highest volume and put it in her coffin when she died. Bob recounts, “All the way to the cemetery, and as they filled in the grave, you could still hear it! I’m hopeful the heavenly choirs sounded much better to her.”</excerpt><author/><image>
