All, Hi!
Hope everyone is doing well.
This is a short review of the Wednesday April 15, 2009 Top 40 Classics - The Classic 45's You Grew Up With Show hosted by Dr. Johnny P. LoveTrain.
Great Show!

Olivia Newton - John and Andy Gibb started the show with a 4 play consisting of 2 tunes by Olivia and 2 songs (a duet with Dionne Warwick and a rarity) by Andy.
The following were some of the oldies played during the first hour:
Hollywood Swinging - Kool And The Gang - 1974 I Missed Again - Phil Collins - 1981 You Are The Woman - Firefall - 1976 - 1977 The 3 Of A Kind feature was also presented.
The main idea of this feature is that listener tries to figure out how each of the 3 songs played are related to each other.
The first listener to E - Mail Dr. Johnny with the correct answer, will get a " Shout - Out " on the air!
The songs played were:
Come Sail Away - Styx - 1977 - 1978 Ride Like The Wind - Christopher Cross - 1980 Sail On Sailor - The Beach Boys The answer of how these 3 songs are connected with each other is:
Each song title has something to do with " Sailing ". 9:00 P. M. EST - 10:00 P. M. EST
