Singers, Songwriters & Storytellers -- A Special Thanksgiving Edition Of Friday Flashback



FRIDAY FLASHBACK: Every Friday we set the Hot Tub Time Machine to one year in rock history and give you the best (and worst) music from that year, all day long beginning at 1:00 AM EST and running for 24 hours on Jivewired Radio powered by Live365.

This week: Singers, Songwriters & Storytellers
Next week: 1994

Well, well, well - it's a holiday weekend and I'm phoning it in just a little. Friday Flashback this week will be a two-day affair, and will run all day on Thursday (Thanksgiving Day) and Friday (Oooooooooh, Black Friday), this way you can all enjoy time with your family and also have some time for shopping and football. In between all your holiday excursions, we just ask that you spend a little time listening to your favorite feature on your favorite radio station, this week's two-day edition of Friday Flashback.

So I totally stole this idea from one of those Time-Life infomercials hosted by the band America, yes, they're included, and I thought that featuring storytellers and songwriters would actually be perfect for this weekend. Plus, we aren't just featuring one year: We are including all of your favorite storytellin' hits of the entire decade, and we even dipped into the late 1960s here and there. Most of these songs cover the years 1970-1979 however.

Personally, if any of you go and buy the Time-Life Series because you listened in all weekend I should get a commission. Make sure you tell them Jivewired Radio sent you - who knows - maybe I'll get a Starbucks Gift Card or something.

The festivities start at midnight tonight, CDT, and continue through Saturday morning at 9am CDT.

We wish you and yours the happiest of Thanksgivings -- and we'd like to extend our gratitude to all of our listeners, thank you so much, you make it all so very worth the efforts of the entire Jivewired staff.

Happy Thanksgiving,
Michael Canter
