SNAP! 94.1

If you are looking for music to get you moving, you can't go wrong with SNAP! 94.1.

Okay, I'll be the first to admit that when 94.1 The Buzz was ripped off the air without explanation, I was upset. Of the contemporary music stations in Memphis, The Buzz offered the best mix of my favorite music. Plus, I absolutely loved their all 80's weekends (am I revealing my age?). So when it was replaced by SNAP! 94.1 (a dance music station), I vowed never to listen to it.

Never say never.

I'm not generally a fan of dance music, hip hop, or other genres with heavy rhythms. I prefer rocky ballads and sappy love songs. But occasionally I like to listen to something more upbeat, especially if I'm working out, cleaning house, or driving on a beautiful day.

So on one recent morning while mopping my kitchen floor, I turned on the radio, looking for music that I could really move to. While scanning through stations, I stumbled upon Gloria Gaynor's I Will Survive. What a great song! I immediately quit scanning and resumed mopping, paying no attention to what station I was listening to. Soon after, Kylie Minogue's Can't Get You Out of My Head came on, which kept me going with it's upbeat rhythm.

As that song came to a close, a pleasant sounding disc jockey announced that I was listening to SNAP! 94.1, "The Rhythm of Memphis." I was surprised, having been so certain that I wouldn't care for this new station. Instead, I ended up listening to it for the rest of the morning.

While I don't listen to it all the time, I do tune in to 94.1 when I need a little pick me up. I still miss The Buzz, but have come to realize that sometimes change can be a good thing.
