The band Stories is a Rod Stewart sound-alike with their Top Five hit “Brother Louie”. And for whatever reason, 1962’s “Monster Mash” has reentered the survey… early Happy Halloween!

Sunday morning on AT40,  KIX time-travels with the top of the pops this week 1977. It’s a happy musical world where Barbra Streisand, Alice Cooper, The Commodores, and Shaun Cassidy all peacefully co-exist in the Top Ten. They are a bit jealous of Andy Gibb though: he’s at #1 for the second week with “I Just Want to Be Your Everything”.  Jimmy Buffett has a new song “Margaritaville” and it looks like a winner. And just for fun, it’s the slightly naughty “Telephone Man” by Meri Wilson!

Vortex Pro Wash:

Vortex Pro Wash prevents damage to your investment with a soft wash. NO cracked siding, NO peeled paint, and NO broken window seals. What Is Soft Washing? Soft washing is a term that is becoming much more commonly used in the pressure washing and roof cleaning industries. It simply means to clean a given exterior using a much softer amount of pressure than most would traditionally associate with a pressure washing company. In fact, most of the exterior cleaning services performed by today’s professionals would fall under the soft washing umbrella. The reason that the term pressure washing is still so widely used has more to do with its industry term recognition than anything. The definition of soft washing is to clean an exterior using 400 psi or less. You can trust them on your property and with your property. Vortex Pro Wash, exceptional service, in a professional manner and at a fair price.

From Doors and Windows, to roofing and siding, and everything in between they’ve made homes fresh and new since 1961. Visit The Aluminum Company to see their lineup on services and get a free no-obligation estimate!
