The Quest for Silver with Chris Tuffer
My show's moniker is The Quest for Silver - songs from a bygone era that were NOT number one but we fondly remember them and want to hear them and some of the stories around them. So if you are a fan of the best era in pop music you have come to the right place. I'm Chris Tuffer and I started broadcasting these old tunes back on the 1960's so I and you remember them well. Anything from The Beatles, The Stones, The Mamas and the Papas, The Monkees and well the list is almost endless. Please come by and check out my podcast with mostly music and a modicum of chatter.
