    As you may already know, we often dedicate our Wednesday program to ‘Decade Anniversary’ programming, where we concentrate specifically on music from ten, twenty, thirty forty or even fifty years ago.

    During the latter part of 2008, however, a number of specialized programs limited pour ability to fully cover all that we had intended. Late 1978 in particular went largely ignored for the last quarter of 2008. So, this show compensates for that oversight by compiling a few representative singles from the last quarter of 1978…and by ‘representative’, we mean both some of the best, and some of the worst.

    Here are a few examples;

    1) Reminiscing – the Little River Band

    2) Just What I Needed – The Cars

    3) Copacabana – Barry Manilow (‘Bad Hit’)

    4) Themes from the Wizard of Oz – Meco (‘Bad Hit’)

    5) Who Are You? - The Who

    6) Le Freak – Chic

    7) Do Ya Think I’m Sexy – Rod Stewart (‘Bad Hit’)

    8) I Was Made for Dancin’ – Leif Garrett (‘Bad Hit’)

    9) My Best Friend’s Girl – The Cars
