Self Help Radio 011916: 1980

(Original image here.)

So much good music from 1980!  I hope I gave a decent representation.  Luckily no-one called & complained that I didn't play REO Speedwagon.  Although that's not a thing that I think has ever happened.

Nothing more to say - it's my birthday today, we're snowed in, & I may nap.  The show is now at the Self Help Radio website, please pay attention to login/password info.  The songs I play in both hours of the show are below.

Happy birthday!
