Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

Where Were You October 7, 1976?-- Part 1

Last Sunday, Bob Stroud did a Time Warp back to Oct. 7th for both 1966 and 1976 on his Rock and Roll Roots show.  I love those Time Warps as it is a slice of my history and always brings back memories.

October 7, 1976, I was early on in my 4th year of teaching and now tenured.  I was teaching quarterly elective classes in geography at Magee Middle School in Round Lake, Illinois.  We were enjoying the new home at 1013 Morningside in Round Lake Beach, Illinois, that we bought for $33,000, a real whole lot of money back then.  I was developing a green thumb for the yard, which I kept in good shape for the dog, Brandy so she would have a place to run and bark at other dogs will the gall to walk by.

We had some real great neighbors that we always got together with and became good friends with.

IT'S OK--  BEACH BOYS--  Their comeback album just recently released entitled 15 Big Ones.
DON'T GO BREAKING MY HEART--  ELTON JOHN AND KIKI DEE--

ROCK N' ME--  STEVE MILLER BAND--  From Fly Like An Eagle
LOWDOWN--  BOZ SCAGGS-- In the Top Ten.  Former member of the Steve Miller Band.

THAT'LL BE THE DAY--  LINDA RONSTADT--  Remembering Buddy Holly's first hit.  (Yeah, Pilgrim!"
SAY YOU LOVE ME--  FLEETWOOD MAC--  All over the radio in '75 and '76 with their self-titles album.  (I knew the first Fleetwood Mac and was wondering which guy had the high voice.)
