It was like jumping into a time machine and pressing play.

On October 17, 2013, Freddy Vette went back half-a-century and played the CJBQ Top 40 from October 17, 1963, from a chart sent in by a fan. Listeners got to hear everything that was on the local chart that day from #40 (Blue Guitar by Richard Chamberlain) to #1 (Sugar Shack by Jimmy Gilmour) and everything in between. Some of the songs hadn't been played on radio literally since they came out, while others are staples of oldies radio. It was a magical afternoon, and you can relive it at Rock Radio Scrapbook.
