Where Were You September 4, 1971?-- Part 1

Bob Stroud concluded his four-part trip back 40 years ago to the Summer of 1971 yesterday. Or did he. All I got was a re-broadcast of his July 3rd show, part 2.

I'm not sure what happened. But, today, his play list for Part 4, September 4th was on the station's website. Looks like I won't get the chance to listen to his comments.

All comments are mine.


SIGNS-- FIVE MAN ELECTRICAL BAND-- I tried to sing this at karaoke once. I won't do this again.
INDIAN RESERVATION-- RAIDERS
SOUR SUITE-- GUESS WHO-- Never heard of it before.

COLOUR MY WORLD-- CHICAGO-- If I played this song at one wedding, I must have played it at a hundred back in my deejay days.
SMACKWATER JACK-- CAROLE KING-- From that great Tapestry album.

REASON TO BELIEVE-- ROD STEWART-- Definitely not shy anymore.
SPANISH HARLEM-- ARETHA FRANKLIN-- Always like the way she started this one.

MOTHER FREEDON-- BREAD-- Not just your average schmaltz band.
RINGS-- CYMARRON-- Another one of my Athens, Ga. songs.

I'D LOVE TO CHANGE THE WORLD-- TEN YEARS AFTER-- Not to be confused with the Coca Cola commercial, or was it?
MOONSHADOW-- CAT STEVENS

NEVER ENDING SONG OF LOVE-- DELANEY & BONNIE
SWEET CITY WOMAN-- STAMPEDERS-- Boy does this one remind me of driving the old Ramblin' Wreck (my '63 Rambler station wagon) around Athens, georgia while attending UGA).

That ol' Rambler took a quart of oil to drive 100 miles. I didn't worry about gas mileage and you could always smell me coming down the road.

Take me Back. --RoadDog
