Live Tracks, March 16, 2023: The soundtrack of a long-ago party

Fri, 03/17/2023 - 10:25am | Bill Buchanan

Jim, November 2015.JPG

This edition of Live Tracks commemorates the party thrown when the host was 10,000 days old, 40 years ago this week.

Live Tracks didn't exist for another three decades, but its spirit was alive and well that night. Lava lamps were lit, cool recreational beverages of choice were in good supply, and this week you can hear the soundtrack.

Some songs even have the pops and crackle of well-loved vintage vinyl.

(The photo shows our host in the KDRT studio, on or about day 21,941.)
