Episode 45: The Week Ending March 13, 1976 There’s a Kind of Hush All Over Deep Purple

I can’t do this all by myself. It would really be great if I had a disco lady or a money honey to show me the way. This week we are going to take it to the limit and at the same time get right back where we started from as we visit the golden years of Billboard Top 40 from the Week of March 13, 1976. Maybe in the music I will find a sweet thing that cupid will set me up with so I no longer have to spend another lonely night. Let’s just make sure she is more than just sixteen. Perhaps if we verify that she was born before late December 1963. Yeah, sure, dream on dream weaver.
