CD SHOWCASE MEMORIES

2 songs from my Friday, 03/29/1996, “CD Showcase” (12p-1p) college radio show: George Strait’s “Does Fort Worth Ever Cross Your Mind” & “Baby’s Gotten Good At Goodbye”. Also featured, a vintage home in GA (photo by OC,SHer ERIC L during his work trip to GA from FL the week of 03/06/2017).

The songs featured below are both from George Strait & were the mid-show twin spin that I did for each of my Monday & Friday college radio shows. For more about GS’s hits & history, check out the 03/12/2016 “CarTunes Saturday” entry via THIS LINK HERE.

#1
“Does Fort Worth Ever Cross Your Mind”
This song debuted 09/29/1984, spent 23 weeks on the country charts & claimed #1. At the time, it was the last 5 of straight chart toppers, including 1983’s “A Fire I Can’t Put Out”, 1983-4’s “You Looks So Good In Love”, 1984’s “Right Or Wrong” & 1984’s “Let’s Fall To Pieces Together”. My favorite of those 5 is the 1983-4 tune, with none of the others really registering with me & some, including this tune, leaving me wonder how this got to the top of the charts & other songs I like better didn’t! I’m sure all of us can relate to that phenomenon, right?

#2
“Baby’s Gotten Good At Goodbye”
Unlike the above tune, this song has resonated with me in different ways many different times over the years. Originally gracing the airwaves 01/21/1989, this single spent 18 weeks on the country charts & peaked at the top. At the time, it was his 9th straight chart topper, with 2 more to follow. That string of 11 chart toppers dated back to 1986’s “Nobody In His Right Mind Would’ve Left Her”.
