BOB in 1996

BOB in 1996

I went through my playlist, request, and inquiry information from last year, and I can list a sort-of mini-chart for 1996. This is nothing more than the track-by-track adding-up of my program for that year, new and old together, to give you a picture of what music made up its core sound. Hope you find it interesting.

FYI : 1995's top two tracks were Same Thing Happened To Me by John Prine, and Yesterday by Boys II Men.

The artists with the most separate tracks played in 1996 were David Wilcox (13, no small thanks to the dynamite release of *East Asheville Hardware*, which gives a far better glimpse of the artist than any of the A&M releases) and Iona (10, due mostly to *Journey Into the Morn*). If you can find these superb albums, grab 'em.
