The Best of the 1950’s
Rumor has it, when NASA launched the Voyager satellite in 1977, they included a Golden Record with 90 minutes of Earth music. So just in case aliens intercept the satellite, they’ll maybe be able to hear some examples of what was meaningful to us Humans.
For these first few episodes, we are curating our own Golden Record, one disc for each decade, starting with the 1950’s (where NASA pretty much left off).
Listen to the songs here: 1950’s Golden Record

Good stuff. I’m late to the game, but I’m enjoying the podcast.
Thanks, Jeff! Great to hear from you. Clearly I need to listen to more Bob Dylan.
