This week on Those Were the Days, we will flash back to Top 40 heaven. The year of 1966 was a banner year for radio with fast talking disc jockeys and songs that have become iconic. As a record collector, the first tunes that I looked for were from the British Invasion, Motown, and Harmony Groups. All are represented on the first chart of the new year. Songs from the Beatles, Supremes, Four Seasons, Beach Boys, and many others will grace the WRCO airwaves Saturday night.

I hope you will join me for our first show of the New Year. After Green Bay bumbled in place of Those Were the Days for two weeks, it is time for me to get off the bench and go into the game! Trivia, requests, and radio fun return Saturday night between six and midnight during Those Were the Days. The best of the fifties through the early nineties will take us back to the good times. I really missed you last week, although it was fun playing our new Christmas games including Poop Bingo (I am not kidding). My granddaughters loved it. Please check in this Saturday night. It will be awesome to hear from you.
