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

One Last Trip Back to the Summer of '75-- Part 1: One of These Nights"

Bob Stroud did his last of four Rock and Roll Roots shows this past Sunday, September 6th on Chicago's WDRV, 97.1 FM.

He was playing the songs playing on the radio and on our stereos from 40 years ago.

I was starting my third year of teaching at John T. Magee Middle School in Round Lake, Illinois.  I no longer was teaching 9th graders as they had all been moved to the high school, but I still had 7th and 8th graders.  This was also our first year in our first home, built by Fairfield Builders at 1013 Morningside in Round Lake Beach.  Our dog Brandy was getting used to her new yard after living first in the apartment in Vernon Hills.

Liz was starting her first full year as a first grade teacher at Beach School in Round Lake Beach.  We were spoiled with very short drives to our respective schools.
