GOOD THING-- PAUL REVERE & THE RAIDERS-- a great rocker in the top ten. (At least these guys wore American duds. The two Chicago groups on the chart, the Buckinghams and New Colony Six had a British feel to their names.)
I HAD TOO MUCH TO DREAM LAST NIGHT-- ELECTRIC PRUNES-- (A great garage rocker, or is that Frat Rock? I used to think they said "I Had Too Much to Drink Last Night.)
LOVE YOU SO MUCH-- NEW COLONY SIX-- bona fide pop hit by Chicago's own. (My favorite Chicago 60s band.)
TRY A LITTLE TENDERNESS-- OTIS REDDING-- (Soul at its best. Otis wrote the dictionary of soul. sadly, we would lose him in 1967.)
KIND OF A DRAG-- BUCKINGHAMS-- Loads of Chicago bands in the radio on this date in '67. Top Ten and on their way to #1 in the country on Billboard's Top 100 chart with this song. (Now, doesn't Buckingham sound British or is it that Fleetwood Mac guy, or maybe a famous water fountain in Chicago.)
(I'M NOT YOUR) STEPPIN' STONE-- MONKEES-- The "B" side of the number one song in Chicago, a two-sided hit (by these lads from Liverpo...er US)
I'M A BELIEVER-- MONKEES-- The "A" side

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.
