Scott chronicles significant anniversaries in the history of popular music on The Musical Milestones.
Based on his popular CBC Radio feature, The Musical Almanac, The Musical Milestones can be heard on Cashbox Radio.
Now in its fourth year on Cashbox Radio, the latest edition of the Musical Milestones is November – Part 1:
The time that life imitated art for a couple of singers
The recording nobody wanted that still became a hit
The band that dared to announce it wouldn’t tour anymore
The time the FBI investigated a song because it might be obscene
The song made as a joke, but the joke was on the creator
The first great Wall of Sound recording
The biggest instrumental hit on radio
When John Lennon came out of hibernation
And the hit record that was born on a dark and stormy night.
