March is a great month for many reasons. It's after February which blows. NCAA basketball doesn't get much better and either does the music. Take part in Wozz's March Music Madness and pick what are the greatest albums in history! We'll feature the top picks during Wozz's next Album Side Thursday on April 1st. You can vote everyday starting Monday. Get an office pool started or just pop it on your fridge by printing a copy.

Here's the link to the album version of today's 1 45 @ 1:45... LIGHTHOUSE "One Fine Morning"

Great song! Tomorrow's Wozz One 45 at 1:45 is from Van Morrison and right after Bob & Tom tomorrow we'll feature 9 great songs from one great year ...1974!

Mondays Wozz 9@9 just had to be from 1980 after our 2010 Olympic Hockey team stunned Canada. February 22nd, 1980 was the date of the "Miracle On Ice". Of course these days it's being downplayed:

Tuesday's 9@9 takes us to 1970. Paul McCartney announces the Beatles have disbanded, we get our first listen to "Spirit In The Sky" and 600,000 attend The Isle of Wight festival. Many of us saw our first "School House Rock" in between cartoons and many of us tried to talk friends and relatives into not buying the brand new Pinto or Gremlin! We'll rock 1970 right after Bob & Tom.
