Going Back to 1969-- Part 1: Kicking Off With CCR

This past weekend, I listened to Bob Stroud's Summer of '75 show on Sunday and Wendy Rice's Saturday Morning Flashback to 1969.  That was a lot of going back for me.

Here is Wendy Rice's 1969 show with her comments.  (Mine in parentheses.)

SATURDAY MORNING FLASHBACK 1969

July 20th, a man walked on the moon. with song "Bad Moon Rising."  Woodstock.  A film that won the Oscar for best had an X-rating.  Altamount, "Easy Rider,"  Chicago Cubs, of course.

GREEN RIVER--  Creedence Clearwater Revival  The tune we always loved to play on St. Patrick's Day when they turn the Chicago River green.(My favorite group ever.  My favorite album.)
BADGE--  Cream  With their album Goodbye.  Power trio with the brief history.  George Harrison one of the co-writers on this tune.
GET TOGETHER--  Youngbloods  Jesse Collin Young, kind of an anthem of the time.
MAMA TOLD ME NOT TO COME--  Randy Newman  Long before he had any association with Disney or Pixar.  Later on a hit song for Three Dog Night.

SHE CAME IN THROUGH THE BATHROOM WINDOW--  Joe Cocker  Lost him just this last December, but in 1969 he had his breakthrough at a little music festival called Woodstock.  His second album came out this year with his cover of a Beatles tune.  Produced and arranged by his buddy Leon Russell.  (Mr. Cover Song himself.)
INDIAN GIVER--  1910 Fruitgum Company.  Bubble Gum, hey it had a groove to it.  (OK, I love my Bubblegum Music.  And I don't care who knows.)
PEACHES IN REGALIA--  Frank Zappa  From the Hot Rats album.
