… We DIG it! …
[Description by contributor Russell Wells]
KGMO, then a top-40 station in this southeast Missouri market, earns a place in history as being the first radio job for a high school-age Rush Limbaugh (nepotistically enough, one of the owners of KGMO in the 1960s was Rush’s father). I lived in Cape during my junior high and early high school years (1978-1982), and this is part of my life’s soundtrack.
It’s every bit as cheesy and lame as any other city song, but this one runs deep in the hearts of many who grew up in Cape Girardeau in the 1970s and 1980s – for many years KGMO actually logged requests for “The Cape Girardeau Song”.
