Yesterday, Bob Stroud did his annual trip back to a summer forty years ago. That would be 1974 in this case.
August 3, 1974, was in the summer after my first year of teaching and one where Liz and I moved from one apartment in Des Plaines to another in Vernon Hills, Illinois. This was so I could be closer to school in Round Lake. Liz was still looking for a job teaching with no luck. She was working as a secretary at General Finance Corporation's home office in Evanston, Illinois, right by Northwestern's Dyche Stadium, so her drive got considerably longer.
The songs:
SUNDOWN-- Gordon Lightfoot
BRIDGE OF SIGHS-- Robin Trower
TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD-- Rufus (With Chaka Khan)
REBEL REBEL-- David Bowie
BIG TEN INCH-- Aerosmith
THE WEIGHT-- (live)-- Band
"I Pulled Into Nazareth..." --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.
