Friday Drive
Friday July 16th, 2021 with Trevor Walker
STARS ON 45! [Influences Nostalgia Guilty Pleasures Cheap Thrills & B-Sides]

Hello Drivers! This week the ride that I’ve compiled is of music, some I’ve rarely ever played, some have been staples over the years spinning out or on the radio but never all in one go like what’s planned, that I can remember. Believe it or not this week I’m imagining what my playlist might have been if I was spinning at a commercial venue all from 45 singles! Music that hit as a youth, mostly on commercial radio, these are some of the songs that stuck with me and give me the feels listening to them after all these years. If you’re allergic to pop you might want to mute. Thank you for indulging me! Always trying to, hopefully, give you a taste of what you didn’t know you we’re missing. Thanks for taking the time!

It’s like I’m watching “Video Hits” after school. Cameo’s Word Up is a top ten 80’s jam for me.

I'm with "Day Job", especially when "Wishing Well" strutted onto the scene... Tha 80's commerical radio in Ottawa was a well of funky, adventurous sounds (54 Rock, Energy 1200, etc.) Fantastically Fun (And Men Without Hats belongs as much as any other, regardless of what others may think)

2:52 PM, July 17th, 2021
Trevor Walker (host)
Thanks for your perspective Highway 417 Pimp Patrol! Always love your comments, keep them coming and thank you for taking the time!
