Yesterday, Bob Stroud did his Ten at Ten show on the Drive, WDRV 97.1 FM on 1971 and today on 1974. This is where he plays ten songs from the year as well as news, movies and interesting facts. Must be a 70s thing he's into. Tuesday was 1979.
AIN'T NO MOUNTAIN HIGH ENOUGH-- DIANA ROSS-- Big time debut as a solo artist. The old Ashford and Simpson song done by Tammi Terrell and Marvin Gaye back in 1967.
ONLY YOU KNOW AND I KNOW-- DAVE MASON-- Done with Traffic and going solo for his upcoming album "Alone Together. An advance 45 release.
WHISKEY TRAIN-- PROCUL HARUM-- From their new album "Home" featuring guitarist Robin Trower. (I hadn't heard this song, but it is a good one. Thanks, Bob.)
TIGHTER AND TIGHTER-- ALIVE AND KICKING-- One hit wonder written and produced by Tommy James. (He of the Shondells. I didn't know that.)
BALL OF CONFUSION-- TEMPTATIONS-- Seems like the only good thing going on in the world back then is "The Beatles' new record's a gas." We always knew that somebody should fet up enough courage to do "Ball of Confusion" 40 years later, 2010. We might not be able to take it. (I'd have some choice comments for Der Blago, Der Bama, der investment bankies Da Big Oil and der Hedgie-Wedgies.)
MEAN MISTREATER-- GRAND FUNK RAILROAD-- "Close to Home" their new album. (I liked this band in both incarnations.)

DIDJA HEAR? Every calendar's days are numbered.
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.
