Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

What Were You Doing March 8, 1972

When Stroud does a Time Warp, he skips ahead five years for the last hour and a half.

In March 1972, I was a junior at the University of Georgia and living in a dorm with Jeff Carter, the governor's son. My parents, brother, and sister were living in Dunwoody, Georgia.

DOCTOR MY EYES-- JACKSON BROWNE-- The first of two Jackson Browne songs being played. (My favorite JB song.)
ROCK ME ON THE WATER-- LINDA RONSTADT-- The second Jackson Browne song. (Man, o'Linda. Be still my heart.)

BLACK DOG-- LED ZEPPELIN-- From IV. Kind of a mixed bag on your radio.
MERCEDES BENZ-- GOOSECREEK SYMPHONY-- They were from down south as if you couldn't tell. It was a moderate hit here in Chicago, the old Joplin classic done up non-acapella. (I have several of their albums. They did a great job on this.)

A HORSE WITH NO NAME-- AMERICA-- brand new and made everyone sit up and take notice. (This song and "Heart of Gold" sum up the year for me.)
SWEET SEASONS-- CAROLE KING-- from her album "Music"

ROUNDABOUT-- YES-- one of their last hits from their great new album "Fragile." (The song that wouldn't end.)
GLORY BOUND-- GRASS ROOTS-- one of the last hits by them. (Still a very under rated group.)

MOTHER AND CHILD REUNION-- PAUL SIMON-- the first hit for him solo.

Another Ten to Go. --RoadDog
