1977!

I continue my tradition of, on my birthday week, going back in time & playing my favorite music from a previous year.  When I started the show, I started on the year of my birth, & now, mumble mumble years later, I've found myself in 1977.  Which was a grand year.  For music.  Not so much for me.

I didn't listen to much of this music myself in 1977, but it found me soon enough.  You can listen to lots of amazing stuff from that year now at the Self Help Radio website.  Or, if you'd rather not have to visit that place, you can simply listen to either part one or part two by clicking those links.  Below is listed all them songs I played.

Enjoy, & thanks for listening!
