D.J. notes: “D.J. Dan” Hoffman; & (the not-yet bearded) Bob Cole, whose impact
on underground & progressive rock in Nashville, no one, no not one, could have 
imagined at this time!

Chart note: These songs move up after dropping the week before: “The Good, the 
Bad… (3-5-3); “Ain’t Nothing Like…” (23-24-17) (Maybe this happened more times 
than I realized.)

Song notes cont
16. 6 places for 5 weeks in a row are astronomical.
