Episode 16: The Week Ending August 27, 1977 I Just Want To Be Your Telephone Man

It wasn’t as easy to communicate back in the 70’s as it is now. At best, you could get in touch via the telephone line, but perhaps you had to resort to something more primitive strawberry letter. Perhaps the only thing you could see was the smoke from a distant fire that just seemed to float and float on. You told your love that you just want to be your everything, your handy man, your telephone man, so don’t worry baby. We are just here to take it easy and sway to the music of the Billboard chart from the week ending August 27, 1977. Is there another podcast that does this same thing? If there is, nobody does it better than us.
