Episode 82: The Week Ending October 19, 1974 Can’t Get Enough of Nothing from Nothing
Description
Well it may seem like this podcast is an overnight sensation, but actually, it took an everlasting love and devotion for the need to be the best that got us here. Sure you may be saying “What? You haven’t done nothin’!”. Well to that we say, you ain’t seen nothing yet. Our 2 listeners can’t get enough of the show, and they consider us the kings of the party. This week the Billboard Top 40 from the week ending October 19, 1974 makes me feel like I got the music in me! So much
so that we may just break into our Longfellow serenade, that one is my melody of love.
