It’s time to jump in the time machine once again and set it back 30 years to 1996 for some musical highlights and memories of a really interesting year in music and live shows!
This show was inspired by last year’s look back at 1995. In case you missed it or want to revisit that one, it’s here: https://wp.me/p1lizT-h24
This is one of our standby series of episodes that are meant to be timeless, so we can pop them into the schedule again some time when I can’t be at the studio live, so enjoy this one now and again!
