Coming up next, it’s time to go back and time to a special year in music that will put a smile on your face in this crazy world. Take a break from the world to hear the stories of the songs. Including a husband & wife who were teachers in a rural city in Oregon, but decided to follow their rock n’ roll dreams and hit it big with a song called Harden My Heart, plus how Stevie Nicks was inspired by something she read on a dining menu on a plane…that she turned into an all-time classic. Also, Alan Parsons bet against one of his songs that became his biggest hit, but his guitarist who won the bet never cashed the check… Find out why… Also today’s countdown includes a Beatles Reunion in the early 80s, well, sorta…and finally the story of a beautiful, alluring woman who mysteriously entered the recording studio to inspire one of the best vocals of the rock era, but then disappeared without a trace. It’s time to time travel next on Professor of Rock.
