‘60s next, but when?
Whenever you get around to it. (But soon, K? 😀)Dang, sorry I missed the '80's thread 😩😩
1974 was a lousy year for most of the choices. Some of those songs sounded like someone stepped on a herd of cats and put it to music.
Great series of threads.
Thank you!
I’ll try not to make it more than a year. Maybe in the summer. Don’t know if people have a preference!
