24 Aug 2011: it's... 1968!! no, really!!

and we finally get '68 and people are requesting "Hey Jude", "Everybody's Talkin'", "Born to Be Wild", "Dock of the Bay", "Build Me Up Buttercup"... er, just turn on Oldies 103.7 and wait 10 minutes.

Not that long, really. We did 1969 on Aug 5. The first half of the 70s have been more scarce than the 60s. We haven't visited any year between 1970 and '74 since late June or longer.

I'm guessing DC would like '60s to be a once-a-month "Treat".  And to be a total 10@10 history-geek, I'll note that there was a period in the Morey era where only '68 and '69 were allowed and they each came up once a month.  Towards the end of his tenure, the target demo shifted and he was permittted to do '67 and even '66 occasionally.  He even did a couple of '60s Vertical tastings, which were quite a delightful shock. Then when AL took over, we were back to getting a '60s set virtually every week, and '65 reappeared, as did '64 (briefly).

ETA: it would appear Marvin & Tammi are a given, what with Mr Ashford's passing.

apologies to geoff, but I probably never need to hear "Piece of My Heart" again.  Here's hoping we go a little deeper as the set wears on.
