JSS-- Just Some Stuff.
Saturday, the 14th, Liz and I took a ride to the our high school stomping grounds in the Northwest Suburbs of Chicago.
1. TUNES AND READS-- Went to Half Price Books in Palatine and bought the book "Sea Wold of the Confederacy" and two CD collections: "Jazz Joint Stomp: 44 Big Band Classics" and "Born to Hustle: 49 Top Ten Rhythm & Blues Chart Toppers" from 1950-1955. All for $16 and $1.60 since we were in the Land of the 10% Sales Tax.
2. GONE-- Then paid our respects to Liz's parents at Memory Gardens. Sadly, Randhurst mall, where we spent so much time in high school, is no more. The whole middle has been torn down, but the anchor stores are still there.
3. 60S TRIPPIN'-- We went to Borders Books by Randhurst and saw Bob Stroud's Rock and Roll Roots Vol. 11 CD release party. He had four big-time Chicagoland 60s bands: New Colony Sox, Mauds, Shadows of Knight and Cryan' Shames. Also bought the CD while there. We really went back to those days we were hanging around Randhurst. I'll have a separate entry on the bands.

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.
