Episode 26: Welcome to the Boomtown Episode 26 (Standing the Test of Time Volume 1)

Welcome to the Boomtown

Welcome back to the 80s! Episode 26 features artists who got their start in the 1950s and 60s, and still managed to have hits in the 80s. Some acts, like The Rolling Stones, Scorpions, and Bruce Springsteen, will even be touring in 2024, proving that age really just is a number.
A shout out to those of you who have been with us since the beginning and welcome to our new listeners. As always, thanks to Team Boomtown: Alan (artwork), DJ Phil B (technical advice) and David Baerwald and David Ricketts, also known as David + David, for their amazing album which inspired the title of our podcast.
