This week’s My Choice selection is from Ey Oop Waite of Melbourne.

Ey Oop’s comments about the songs are in italics.
The songs are in no particular order.
Spirit in the Sky – Norman Greenbaum
Was hooked from the first note of that controlled distortion.

My girlfriend dropped me and this song came on the radio as I was driving away. We got back together some time later and have been married 40 years.
