Episode 48: The Week Ending April 3rd, 1971 One Bad Apple Over the Line

Hey, what’s going on, or should I say oye como va? It may
be just another day, but sit yourself down and stay awhile. For all we know, it is just my imagination, but I think the Billboard Top
40 from the Week of April 3rd, 1971 is pretty neat. Maybe it was due to the
soul power, but me and Bobby McGee both liked it.
