July 26, 2019 / Len / 1 Comment

(Above: John R. Cash.) July 26, 1969 It's two days after the Apollo 11 astronauts splashed down safely after eight days in space. They spend some time in quarantine - so we don't get "moon cooties" from them, I assume - and scientists get to work studying the rock samples they've brought back and also … Continue reading New this week in ’69: July 26

July 19, 1969 I don't have to tell you much about what was going on this week fifty years ago. There's been a ton of fantastic retrospectives already done on the subject of the moon landing.

Who Did It First? The Easybeats, “Good Times” (1968)

(Above: Add this to your list of all-time "side one, track ones.") Very early in my college radio career - like on my first show - I had a habit of keeping some songs close by so as to sneak them in if time allowed.
