Check out THIS article ... I hearby take FULL advantage of my bragging rights to be mentioned in the same article that also includes "Star Wars" and NBC's live broadcast of "The Wiz"!!!

Congratulations on keeping Forgotten hits alive!!! I just punched up The Angels' "Thank You and Goodnight", which I used as my sign off during my WHK days in Cleveland.
All the best and here's to another 16 years!!

Hi Kent,  
Thanks for the 16 years, Kent! During that time you’ve broadened our musical horizons, as you have discussed music from the 1950s through to the 80s. Your concert reviews are a delight – it’s as if we’re right there along with you.
Same goes for your reviews of CDs and DVDs, which are not just suck-ups. If you don’t like what you’re reviewing, you give a reasoned explanation. Of course, if you DO like it, your enthusiasm is contagious. I bought the Jeff Lynne “Live In Hyde Park” DVD based on your recommendation. “Very nice” was how I think you described it! I thoroughly enjoyed the DVD of the show and the accompanying documentary reviewing Jeff’s achievements.  
As Bruce Channel said, “Keep On”. Or better still, please keep on. 
Best wishes,  
Mike Edwards 
LOL ... yeah "very nice" ... that sounds like me ... sort of the watered-down version of our review!  (lol)  Thanks, Mike!  (kk)
 
Congratulations on your 16th Anniversary!   
I started reading your daily posts several years ago.  I grew up listening to Top 40 radio during the 1970s, but my interest in the Billboard charts (and the Whitburn books) led me to discover oldies radio starting around 1980.  I quickly got an education on the hits of the ‘50s and ‘60s and many of those songs became some of my all-time favorites.  I envy those of you that got to experience all of that wonderful music first-hand.  Your passion for the music comes through in all of your posts.  Here’s looking forward to another 16 years of forgotten hits!
