Mighty Good Time for All-- Chicago Rock-- Part 3

Continuing with Bob Stroud's record release party at the Border's in Schaumburg, Illinois.Jim Peterik said this about his 1970 hit "Vehicle" which was written about a former girlfriend who wanted him to take her every where. He said to her all he was just her vehicle.

Jom Sahms, former leader of the Shadows of Knight, got up and sang their classic "Gloria." He said that he sometimes gets a question in his head and can call Bob Stroud anytime for the answer. The depth of Stroud's 60s-70s knowledge has probably never been tapped.

Then, the Cryan' Shames closed out the show. Bob Stroud took the lead vocals as he did that for several years.

I Want to Meet You
First train to California
Up On the Roof
Sugar and Spice

We were definitely enjoying these songs along with all the memories they were bringing back.

Afterwards, they had an autographing party where you got to talk to the old guys. I told Bob Stroud that I liked his show, but was having a hard time getting up at 7 AM. He said, "You're having a hard time?"

We'll Definitely Be Back Next Year. --RoadDog
