Self Help Radio 011014: 1978

My last WRFL show is available for listening to now at the Self Help Radio website.  You may notice it's an hour longer than the actual show.  That's because there was a lot of great music I liked in 1978 & I focused on mainly albums & not singles.  Not singles!  What a crazy thing!  So included with the actual radio show is an extra hour of 23 more songs from 1978 that kick ass.  I could probably do a five hour radio show with my favorite music from that year.  Thankfully there are right-minded folks who keep me away from five-hour radio shows.

The song list is below.  The radio show's three parts can be accessed at the website or like so: part I then part II then part III or really in any order.

Thanks for listening!  Remember there'll be a new show this Friday!
