Episode 42: The Week Ending March 2, 1974 Show and Tell in the Boys Room

Do you remember the way we were in 1974? On nice days we enjoyed seasons in the sun, listening to the mockingbird love song, or perhaps catching spiders and snakes for the next show and tell. We were too young yet to join those guys smoking in the boys’ room. Those guys were probably hooked on a feeling of the last kiss they had with that special dark lady, that feeling which is so strong when you’re sixteen.  In this episode we rock on and boogie down to the Billboard Top 40 from the Week of March 2, 1974. Thank god the energy crisis '74 didn’t reach the dance floor.
