The November 14, 1955 top 40 music chart from radio station KTOP 1490 Topeka, Kansas is the oldest in my collection of radio station surveys. The number one song for the week was "Sixteen Tons" by Tennessee Ernie Ford. "Sixteen Tons" was a Billboard number one song for 8 weeks and was on the charts for 19 weeks. The number 16 song, "Pepper-Hot Baby" was a hit for Jaye P. Morgan who might be best remembered as a regular on "The Gong Show" television game show. While KTOP is still on the air in Topeka, they are no longer a top 40 music facility. The current format is sports using the ESPN network.

Las Vegas - 1969
A recent visit to Las Vegas reminded me of some old photos I had taken in 1969. First we have a look Fremont Street:
A look down the strip shows the Silver Slipper still in business:
It's fun to look back, but one wonders what Las Vegas will look like 40 years from now.

1960's Welcome To Wyoming Sign
Back in the 1960's when you drove to Wyoming you would see this Welcome to Big Wonderful Wyoming sign. These signs were replaced, but it's fun to remember that way it was.
