Monday: Fonz/Various Artists "Fonzie Favorites" (1976)
This is a compilation 1950's, Happy Days era music. We played "The Fonz Song" (a song all about how cool, tough and not nerdy The Fonz was. It was followed up with the "Impressionist Track." You can practice your favorite Fonz sayings such as: Aaaaay, Cool, Nerd, Sit on it!

Tuesday: The Lovin Spoonful, "The Very Best Of" (1970)
Great 1960's pop/rock band, led by John Sebastian. We played a song that was perfect for the early morning, "6 O'Clock."

Wednesday: Jimi Hendrix, "Crash Landing" (1975)
Producer Alan Douglas was the guy in charge of Hendrix's catalog around this time, and decided to put his own special touches on the songs released on this record (take note it was released 5 years after Hendrix died). We heard a version of "Stone Free," but on this record it was called "Stone Free Again."

Thursday: Buckingham Nicks, "Buckingham Nicks" (1973)
An album recorded by Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks right before they joined Fleetwood Mac.

Friday: The Fat Boys, "Hangin with the Refrigerator" single (1985)
Ah, a double meaning of the word refrigerator. The Fat Boys would generally hang around the appliance that keeps our food cold, but in this tune they're referring to the Chicago Bear, William "The Refrigerator" Perry.
