Well, ring out the old and ring in the new.

It is a new year, and a new look for The Way-Back Music Machine.  We have reached episode 82! 

This year, we thought we would do something a little different.

We will be going through the Week That Was day by day, starting on Sunday.

And, of course, since The Beatles feature prominently in our show and rock and roll history, there has to be an 8th day ("Eight Days A Week", right?).

This week we explore Bill Haley and His Comets hit "Rock Around The Clock", talk about South Park (yes, they had a hit), and a salute George Martin and Malcom Young, both of whom have birthdays this week. We also take a look at a poll in Liverpool in 1962, and talk about The Supremes. Finally, on the eighth day we look at a failed audition.  Actually it is THE failed audition.

All that plus charts and great conversation between friends on Episode 82 of The Way-Back Music Machine.

It's our New Year's Eve episode!

Ring out the old and ring in the new with The Way-Back Music Machine.

On this trip we look at December 31 through the years.

We look at the debut of The Beach Boys, The Kinks and AC/DC. We also look at the debut of Bob Dylan as an actor.

All that plus charts talk and great conversation between good friends.

Happy New Year!

Episode 80 of The Way-Back Music Machine is very special for a few reasons. It is number 80, it is our second Christmas episode and it is the last episode of the year. And what a year it has been! 

But for this show we look at Jimmy Buffet, Johnny Mathis, Bing Crosby and The Sex Pistols. 

Are they connected? Not really but you have to listen to the show to learn about a special Christmas concert, the history of "White Christmas", "When A Child Is Born" and all about Jimmy.

All that, plus charts and and great chat between two friends.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from Tony and Aaron at The Way-Back Music Machine.

See you in 2023.
