The years 1967 and 1979 were migratory for both Rob and Mossy.

Rob moved from rural Ballan in Victoria and Mossy from sunny Brisbane to start anew in Melbourne.

Apart from providing great music as presented in the playlist, these two years saw a lot of cultural, social and political change.

During 1967 there was the escalation of the Vietnam war, Elvis married Priscilla and the first successful heart transplant was performed.

1979 saw the introduction of the Sony Walkman, the personal computer, voicemail and the ascension of Margaret Thatcher.
