It’s September in 2022 and also in our journey through time in 1958. Which means we have been at this for two whole years! We kicked it off on 29 August, 2020 and now here we are at issue 105!
We failed to post last week as we were travelling to see family, so here is a link to the August, 1958 playlist which you can listen to before you hear what September sounds like…

This month in history
On September 5 “The Huckleberry Hound Show” by Hanna-Barbera featuring Yogi Bear premiered on US TV. The first episode is below boo-boo!
And lastly, something I thought was a typo… September saw the beginning of the first “Cod War” between the United Kingdom and Iceland as Iceland’s new 12-mile fishing limits went into effect. Eleven British fishing trawlers ignored the ban, carrying out their operations within six miles of Iceland, the former limit, and four Royal Navy frigates entered the area to prevent the seizure of the British fishing boats by the Gæslan, Iceland’s Coast Guard.
What’d Sadie think?
Number one for the whole month was “Nel Blu Dipinto Di Blu” by Domenico Modugno. Interesting as the Dean Martin version is also on the charts and I had assumed it would have been the more successful as he was a more well known artist.
