the seventies: 1973
i now have a reason to start blogging all of the songs from the 70s (and then the 60s), all by next week. hopefully, it can be done. i mean, it will be done – people are counting on me!
so, right after yesterday’s 1972 comes today’s 1973. maybe tomorrow will be 1974, who knows?

my current jam is on here, woohoo! and also, time in a bottle – one of the songs that really got me back into “oldies”. and i say “back into” because i used to listen to a lot of them in the car with my parents, but never actually paid much attention to them… i feel like i’ve said that before. i probably have, but it doesn’t hurt to mention it again, right?
that’s all for now.
