That Labor Day weekend, 40 years ago.
JOIN TOGETHER-- WHO-- a 45 release
GO ALL THE WAY-- RASPBERRIES-- first hit and hit-bound
RUN TO ME-- BEE GEES-- Another stunning mini-opera
SATURDAY IN THE PARK-- CHICAGO-- (With these next three songs) Labor Day weekend getting filled up with brass 40 years ago. From Chicago 5, their latest album, out about a month. (Always a favorite as it reminds me of driving around in the Ramblin' Wreck. Hey, the radio worked well, anyway.)
YOU'RE STILL A YOUNG MAN-- TOWER OF POWER-- What a flourish!!
THUNDER AND LIGHTNING-- CHI COLTRANE-- From Wisconsin with her one and only hit, unfortunately. Brand new. (This gal had a set of pipes on her!!)
GUITAR MAN-- BREAD-- David Gates
CONQUISTADOR-- PROCUL HARUM-- (It was live and with an orchestra.)
COCONUT-- HARRY NILSSON-- (Can't help but smile when I hear this one.)
HAPPY-- ROLLING STONES-- (And they were so happy with the money rolling in from Exile.)
One More Trip Back. --RoadDog
WORD PLAY: With her marriage, she got a new name and a dress.
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.
