Continuing with the tracks on Bob Stroud's new CD. All these songs were suggested and voted on by his listeners.
JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE MIND-- AMBOY DUKES-- Band out of Detroit, Michigan, around for just a couple years and there one big hit. (Was that Ted Nugent singing and playing guitar on the track?)
MY PLEDGE OF LOVE-- JOE JEFFREY GROUP-- One hit wonder out of Cleveland, Ohio. Is it just me, or is this not one of the feel-good songs of 1969?
RUBY TUESDAY-- ROTARY CONNECTION-- Another local band. The "B" side was their version of Sam and Dave's "Soul Man." (A great song that should be included on the next volume.) Their awesome psychedelic version of this Stones song.
CAR HOP-- THE EXPORTS-- The tune I consider to be the oldest song in the Rock and Roll Roots series. This one dates back to late 1964. Surprisingly enough, it didn't chart on Billboard's Top 100 charts nationally, but here in Chicago it was top ten. An instrumental. Criminally enough, it is the first instrumental ever on the series. (Never heard this song, but it is good with some car hop sounds at the beginning.)

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.
