Quest for Silver with Mr. T
Our Podcast focuses on the number two songs from the twentieth century. No number one songs. Although some charts do not always agree with each other there can be exceptions - for example, The CCR never had a single release in the USA that reached the top of any chart, whereas the CCR in Canada most assuredly DID reach the top with a few of their releases. The bottom line is that we are playing songs that we remember and like alot. The premise is however that for the most part they missed the centre of the target as far as sales and chart recognition. You and I know that they are still crowd pleasers and as far as that goes YOU are the crowd and if you like these songs we want you to let us know. Give us a text 306-227-4229.
