Russ_Horton 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2008 Hi everyone..I may be new on the messageboard but I'm not new to this site..I have been using Songfacts for many a day. Each week we have a songfacts highlighted song from this week in history.I'll leave it up to the posters here each week to decide which track we play. The show is brand new and is a weekly magazine show on the Oldies Generation..50s-80s basically. We look forward to your feedback..Songfacts will become a big part of our show in the weeks to come!

Farin 2 Report post Posted January 7, 2008 Hey Russ, Welcome to Songfacts (forum) I'm sure it should be possible to get one song per week for you but tell us a bit about your show... is it on the Radio? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucky 5 Report post Posted January 8, 2008 Russ... Pleased to meetcha, and welcome to the boards! Yes, please tell us more, I'm intrigued. I'm a part of that oldies geration, both in age and music taste. I also love history. In fact, I've been wanting to start a "History Lesson" thread. Tell us more about your show, and how we can help you out. It sounds lovely! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
