Music for a Blizzard: January 29, 1967-- Part 7

You can sure play a lot of songs in three hours when they are from 1967, when most songs out were between two and three minutes long. Bob Stroud played 50 songs in his show from Jan. 29, 2012, the 45th anniversary of Chicago's Blizzard of '67.

"We got 23 inches of snow that fell for around 26-27 hours, beginning at 5:02 AM on January 26th and stopped at 10:10 AM January 27th. After the storm passed, Chicago was a ghost town and roads were impassable. People couldn't get to work and those who were at work couldn't get home. Some remember the Storm of '67 as the first time they ever saw people putting chairs on the street to hold parking spaces.

Thet had to airlift milk and bread. People were just wondering how they were going to make it."

UNDER MY THUMB (LIVE)-- ROLLING STONES-- Their album out just in time for Christmas, Got Live If You Want It. Interestig enough, the announcer who brings the Stones on is none other than Long John Baldry who would record "Don't Try to Lay No Boogie-Woogie on the King of Rock and Roll" and had a hit with it here in the States in 1971.
GET OFF MY CLOUD (LIVE)-- ROLLING STONES--

I FEEL FREE-- CREAM-- From over in England, their brand new album Fresh Cream.

I WANT TO MEET YOU-- CRYAN SHAMES-- The album was released in October 1966 and if you were a Chicagoan and a music fan back during this era, you were playing this album to death because it was homegrown. The Sugar and Spice album had their most current hit. (Cryan Shames, my second-favorite 60s Chicago group.)
SHE DON'T CARE ABOUT TIME-- CRYAN SHAMES-- And a cover tune of a Byrds song and I kind of thought it was kind of hip that they decided to cover a Byrds song that was a "B" side and not even on an album. It was the "B" side of the "Turn, Turn, Turn" single.

STEPPIN' STONE-- MONKEES-- A two-side hit was #1 in Chicago. The "B" Side
I'M A BELIEVER-- MONKEES-- The "A" side (Let Donkey sing!)
