JSS-- Just Some Stuff
1. OKTOBERFEST-- Saturday, Rick and I went to Fox Lake's annual Oktoberfest and enjoyed the three-piece Alpiners walking around and playing German songs on a tuba, accordion, and horn, beer, food, and later, the New Invaders took the stage with their great 60s music. This is a very talented band who can really take you back. They had played in Wyoming Friday night.
2. AN OLD FART-- I was to keep Rick busy while wife Chris prepared for his 60th birthday party at Hello Folks. Not sure if he was surprised or not, but we had a great time, plenty of food, and drinks. I deejayed for one of my last times. Getting kind of hard to remember where songs are on the cassettes since I dj so rarely these days.
3. TRIP BACK TO 1968 AND 1973-- Sunday morning, Bob Stroud Time Warped back to October 4th for both the years 1968 and 1969, which found me as a senior at Palatine High School in '68 and a first-year teacher and newly-wed in '73. Of course, I will be listing the songs, Bob's comments, and mine in a bit.
4. BEARS WIN!-- Afterwards, we went over to Glen and Loretta's place on the channel leading out to Fox Lake (next to Rick's where we keep our boat) and had Rick's BD celebration part 2 while watching the Bears game. Their house dates to 1925 and was in really bad shape when they moved in, but they have really turned the place into something to be proud of.
This was mostly a neighbors party. All the folks living up and down the channel have been known to party more often or not. A real "Party Channel."
A bit worried about our defense at first, but then the Bears started pulling ahead. Glad to see they began using Garrett Wolfe at the end and he scored a TD. They're missing the boat not using him more.

Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
