As I sit here listening to one of the two Halloween cassette tapes I used when I was deejaying. "HorroR Movie" by the Skyhooks is playing AT this moment. Just listened to "Dead Man's Party" by Oingo Boingo and "I Put a Spell on You" by Screaming Jay Hawkins. Don't Be Afraid.
Back to Bob Stroud's songs from this date.
SOMEBODY'S BEEN SLEEPING IN MY BED-- 100 PROOF (AGED IN SOUL)-- some years later, Foghat would cover it on their "Boogie Motel" album.
OUT IN THE COUNTRY-- THREE DOG NIGHT-- current release
JOANNE-- MICHAEL NESMITH AND THE FIRST NATIONAL BAND-- Did we know how good we had it back then when it was happening? I think we did, but putting it in a warp-perspective presentation, it really all comes home. (Short song title, long group name.)
ALL RIGHT NOW-- FREE-- Everything's alright when you're back to 1970. (Well, not so alright if your draft lottery number is 22. One of my all-time favorites. Talk about your guitar riffs!!)
DON'T TRY TO LAY NO BOOGIE-WOOGIE ON THE KING OF ROCK AND ROLL-- CROW-- Next year, 1971, we'd get it from Long John Baldry. (Long song title, short group name. Loved Baldry's spoken story before he played it.)
INDIANA WANTS ME-- R. DEAN TAYLOR-- Top Ten. Served as a Motown staff writer. (I can't drive into this state without singing this song at the top of my voice. Just ask Liz.)
And It Ain't Over Yet. --RoadDog
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.
