Episode 34: Welcome to the Boomtown Episode 34 (MSHS Class of 1985)
Welcome back to the 80s! To introduce this episode, here’s a slight variation on the lyrics to Bob Seger’s Like a Rock (1986): Forty years nowWhere’d they goForty yearsI don’t knowI sit and I wonder sometimeWhere they’ve gone. On June 9th, 1985, Dr. Dave and 300+ of his classmates graduated from Marquette Senior High School in Marquette, Michigan. In honor of that momentous occasion, this episode celebrates the 40th reunion of the MSHS Class of 1985. Go Redmen and Redettes! (Well, actually, now Sentinels, as they recently went through a name change, but it was who they were back in the day.)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 the people who helped us put this together: Alan (for all our artwork), DJ Phil B (for the technical stuff) and David Baerwald and David Ricketts, also known as David + David, for their amazing album which inspired the title of our podcast.Please tell all your friends about us and follow this page so you know when new podcasts are available. You can also follow us on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, X, Mastodon, Threads, and Bluesky.Songs chosen by Dr. Dave, track listing coming soon.Listen, enjoy, share, follow. And thanks for keeping 80s music alive!BB & DD
