JSS: CD Release Party-- Bob Waldemire-- The Problem with "Seen ITs"

JSS-- Just Some Stuff


1. CD RELEASE PARTY-- This Sunday, Bob Stroud release his Rock and Roll Roots Vol. 11. His show from 7 to 10 AM on WDRV will feature the 13 cuts and then he has a release party at the Oakbrook, Illinois, Borders store. It will feature lots of Chicago 1960s rock bands. Then, next Saturday, he has another one at the Mt. Prospect Borders which we are planning to attend.


2. BOB WALDEMIRE-- So sad to find out that Route 66 icon Bob Waldemire will be going to that great highway in the sky soon. He is in his converted school bus in Springfield, Illinois, and greeting his fans in these last days.

There was a very nice article and video in today's Chicago Tribune at

He is the artist of Route 66 and, as far as I'm concerned, the "Spirit" of the Road. He was the inspiration for Fillmore the hippie van in the movie "Cars."

We're considering going there next week for a final visit.

I've been writing about him in http://roaddogsroadlog.blogspot.com.


3. THE PROBLEM WITH "SEEN ITS"-- We normally play NTN/Buzztime in the afternoon. Then, around 3:30 to 4, the "smart" people start playing of whom I will refer to as "Seen Its." All of a sudden, we start seeing perfect and near perfect scores all over the top twenty and even on games with really hard questions. They have be seeing the games somewhere, somehow.

It's sure hard to beat someone who has seen the questions and answers already.
