July 4th, Bob Stroud Time Warped back to that date back in 1970 on his Rock and Roll Roots radio show on WDRV in Chicago. This was part two of his annual summer salute and guaranteed to bring back some memories.
My family was getting ready to move to Dunwoody, Georgia, with all the packing that went along with it. I was still going to continue going to Northern Illinois in Dekalb for sophomore year, but was going to help with the move.
Bob's comments are first and mine in parentheses. Bob is a regulat fountainhead about 60s and 70s music information.
Songs in your radio and some of the music in your record collection.
ARE YOU READY-- PACIFIC GAS AND ELECTRIC-- Giving you two chances to get ready for the Summer of 1970. New band out of California. Pretty much a one-hot wonder that had just broken onto the charts. On Rock and Roll Roots Vol. 8.
GET READY-- RARE EARTH-- Just getting to know this band out of Detroit on the Rare Earth label, cover of the temps classic. (Blue-eyed soul from Motown!!)
HITCHIN' A RIDE-- VANITY FARE-- former #1 hit. (This is another song with significant NIU memories for me.)
QUESTION-- MODDY BLUES-- from their upcoming album release "Question of Balance."
Good Stuff Maynard!! --RoadDog
REMEMBER WHEN you had little side juke boxes at your tables in diners and coffee shops?
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.
