As usual, Bob Stroud jumps ahead five years for the last hour and a half of his Rock and Roll Roots show.
On October 18, 1975, I was early on in my 3rd year of teaching at John T. Magee School in Round Lake, Illinois. Now, I only had 7th and 8th graders since the freshmen had been moved over to the high school. Jim Rogers had left as principal and now Bob Ballinger had the duties.
We were first-time homeowners, having just moved into a 24 by 44 foot Fairfield Builders home at 1013 Morningside in Round Lake Beach, Illinois. Cost of the house was $33,000 (a big amount for us back then as I was earning around $8500 a year).
We had moved in during the summer and were having a garage built. Liz's Aunt Lee had bought a fence for the property, so our dog Brandy could run, and did she ever.
The garage was built by Turtle Garage Builders who had a showroom at the corner of Hainesville Road and Rollins in Round Lake Beach.
Liz was now teaching full-time after getting a 1st grade job part way through the previous year.
The Music Next. --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.
