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
NO PUN INTENDED: She was engaged to a boy with a wooden leg, but she broke it off.
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.
