Thanks again to all of you who registered on the Rams 70 web site.  We look forward to seeing all of you (planning to come)  Friday night (Nov. 3rd).  Bob and Nick Rustad (Dan's kids) will be the DJ at our party. Following is a list of the top 40 singles from the years 68, 69, 70 and 71.  We do have all of these songs available on CD's for your requests and "dedications".

Next you will see a list of top selling albums in 1970.  We do have a song or 2 from most of these LP's but, do not have all of them.  So if any of you would like to bring a CD to share...  we encourage you to do so.  The same goes for any other nostalgia you would like to share. Please bring whatever!! (we won't have a turntable)

Next is some other interesting 1970 trivia to get you in the mood.

See you Friday.
