Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

It's a Summer 1970 Thing-- Part 2

Going back to the Summer of 1977 one last time. After all, it's Labor Day Weekend and everyone is back on school now. School definitely puts a crimp on summer fun. Plus, it's a seasonal thing you know.

These were songs on your radio and in your record collection (that would be albums and singles, or 33 and a thirds and 45s for you young folks) back 40 years ago.

This show played on September 5th and the songs were all from September 5, 1970.

CRACKLIN' ROSIE-- NEIL DIAMOND-- climbing the charts
CUT ACROSS SHORTY-- ROD STEWART-- new album "Gasoline Alley", album #2 for him. Quite a marriage of music he's got going in that old Eddie Cochran classic, dobros, slide guitars and fiddling all over the place. (Not today's Rod at all.)

MAKE IT WITH YOU- BREAD-- their first Top Ten hit, still played on the radio. (Their first album, "On the Water" is still one of my favorites. I'm on my second copy.)
IT'S A SHAME-- SPINNERS-- Motown, written by Stevie Wonder (I love that jangling guitar.)

TEACHER-- JETHRO TULL-- latest from their new album "Benefit." (Should have been Top Ten. A great topic song for this time of the year.)
NEW SPEEDWAY BOOGIE-- GRATEFUL DEAD-- from "Working Man's Dead."

Let's get That Old '67 Tempest Fired Up. --RoadDog
