CD SHOWCASE MEMORIES

2 songs from my Monday, 04/15/1996, “CD Showcase” (12p-1p) college radio show: Oak Ridge Boys’ “Everyday” & Little Texas’ “What Were You Thinking”. Also featured, the BoatCar Boathouse in Florida’s Downtown Disney (04/01/2017 photo by OC,SHer ERIC L)

#1
“Everyday”
Oak Ridge Boys
[For more info about ORB’s hits & history, check out the 11/21/2015 “CarTunes Saturday” entry via THIS LINK HERE, the 02/10/2016 “Wednesday Wrap” entry via THIS LINK HERE, the 11/05/2016 “CarTunes Saturday” entry via THIS LINK HERE & the 05/09/2017 “Turntable Tuesday” entry via THIS LINK HERE.] I’m pretty sure the upbeat, uplifting tone of this tune is why I kept getting requests for this song on my college radio shows. I think it is a message we all need to hear more of & actually put into consistent practice more often. Take a listen to see if you agree. This single debuted 07/14/1984, spent 21 weeks on the country charts & claimed #1. At the time, it came in the midst of a run of 11 straight Top 10 ORB tunes & was the 2nd #1 in a stretch of 5 straight chart toppers.

#2
“What Were You Thinking”
Little Texas
[For more info about LT’s hits & history, check out the 02/20/2016 “CarTunes Saturday” entry via THIS LINK HERE & the 03/18/2017 “Smorgasbord Saturday” entry via THIS LINK HERE.] Hitting the airwaves 10/10/1992, this single spent 20 weeks on the country charts & shockingly notched at #17. It was the follow-up to their 2nd Top 10 tune, 1992’s “You & Forever & Me” (#5). After a 2nd straight Top 20 in 1993’s “I’d Rather Miss You” (#17), the band returned to the Top 10 with 1993’s “What Might Have Been” (#2). While this is 1 of my favorite songs of this band, I could NOT locate an original version online; however, this cover is dang close to the original release.
