Whisky, Words and Wine

Lulu, Leogate, and Lark


Listen Later

What were you listening to in 1976? (for our younger listeners ask your parents …..or grandparents).  Although it was a golden time for great music, the top 10 for that year was, well, mixed.  No Deep Purple or Billly Thorpe, but it did give us Bohemian Rhapsody, and Rumours.  Jack tells an improbable story about it being warm enough in Glasgow to warp a vinyl record in the sun (more likely he left it on a heater), has a disappointing whisky tasting, and laments the 50 wasted years since someone told him he was a good singer.  Meanwhile Graham finished the bleakest book ever written (Wuthering Heights), pontificates about drinking leather, conspires to delay an aircraft so a friend has no choice but to listen to the pod, and is let loose on the mean streets of Melbourne at ridiculous-o’clock.
