Hey Tyina! What a GREAT year to spotlight, for so many reasons. I was 7 years old and started listened to AM radio that year. Lots of good memories. 😊
Tyina (host) 2:17:55 PM
The beginning of your radio journey - how wonderful, Dan!
Coghauler 2:29:12 PM
Oh, 1968. Chambers Brothers. "Can't Turn You Loose". That gits it!
Tyina (host) 3:29:11 PM
I've got the Chambers Brothers in the mix!
Coghauler 3:37:50 PM
So many good songs! Almost too much for one year , huh Tyina.
Tyina (host) 3:38:52 PM
So true!
Bama Dan 4:52:34 PM
Reading a bit about Cliff Nobles - The Horse! - and see he was from Grove Hill , Alabama. Reminded me of your Great Migration show, Tyina...did you say you were going to try a Part II of that theme sometime? I really enjoyed that show!
Tyina (host) 4:53:47 PM
Yes, I do plan to return to that theme. Wouldn't be any R&B music without migration!
