Music playing on our radios back during the Blizzard of '67 if you lived in the Chicago suburbs, Great Snowstorm of 1967 if you lived in Chicago. Evidently.
"I think with the Snowstorm of '67, the phrase, "If you don't like the weather in Chicago, just wait a minute," applies. Just two days earlier the temperatures had reached a record high of 65 degrees on Jan. 24, 1967.
The paralyzing strength of the '67 storm suspended normal routines for days. The lattice-work of stranded cars, trucks and buses blocked up highways and byways. Thousands of air travelers and workers were stranded in Chicago's airports which were closed for record long stretches. Drifts ten feet high covered Chicago's Midway Airport."
PRETTY BALLERINA-- LEFT BANKE-- Brand new. Their follow up to "Walk Away Renee." (Talk about you fantastic vocalizations.)
FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH-- BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD-- Their new single from their debut album was all over the radio. (This was my favorite pre-Creedence group. But, I always thought the riot was about something bigger than a bar.)
MR. SOUL-- BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD-- A couple selections. That whole first album was great, but I didn't get one of their albums until they were finished as a group.)
WE AIN'T GOT NOTHING YET-- BLUES MAGOOS-- Top Ten
NO MILK TODAY-- HERMAN'S HERMITS-- Last hour, we played the "A" side of the single ("Dandy" only he played the original version by the Kinks). Many of us thought this "B" side was even better. (Including myself. This is one great song.)
More to Come. --RoadDog
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.
