From May 15th Blog entry. Born July 23, 1947 as David Albert Cook. English actor and singer. First big break as the lead role in stage play of Godspell. Wrote "Rock On" himself, his only big international hit, although it hit #3 in the UK. Sold over a million copies and certified Gold.
MARIA MULDAUR "Midnight at the Oasis"
From May 18th Blog entry. How's this for a name? She was born September 12, 1943, as Maria Grazia Rosa Domenica D'Amato and grew up in New York City. A folk and blues singer who had her biggest and only hit with this song. She was a member of the Jim Kweskin & His Jug Band group where she met and married Geoff Muldaur. She was a backing vocalist for Grateful Dead in the late 70s.
This was one REALLY different song.
"Hey kid, rock and roll
Rock On, ooh my soul (always thought he said soothe my soull)
Hey kid, boogey too, did you
Hey shout, summertime blues
Jump Up and down in my blue suede shoes
Hey kid, rock and roll, ____ __. --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.
