Where Were You December 27, 1979?-- Part 1

We were finishing up the 70s and getting ready to go into a new decade and living in our home at 1013 Morningside in Round Lake Beach, Illinois. We moved in during 1975. 

I was half way through my seventh year of teaching at John T. Magee Middle School in Round Lake and Liz was in her fifth year teaching and at Ellis Elementary School in Round Lake Beach. We were quite spoiled as I had a three mile drive to school and Liz a half mile. I was also working on my master's degree at Northern Illinois University.

As usual, Bob Stroud's comments are first. Mine are in parentheses.

COOL CHANGE-- LITTLE RIVER BAND-- By the end of the 70s, there was a bit of change in the music. (Not to mention it is quite cool these days in Chicago.)

DON'T BRING ME DOWN-- ELO-- From new album "Discovery." (And, they were ALBUMS back then.

HEARTACHE TONIGHT-- EAGLES-- co-written with Bob Seger. Glen Frey, Don Henley, J.D. Souther from the album "Long Run."

DREAMING-- BLONDIE-- a new-wave-punk thing happening.
