Sunday was Bob Stroud's Final Rock and Roll Roots Salute to the Summer of 1976. Part 4. It was the songs you were hearing on the radio and playing on your stereo.
I was just starting my 4th year of teaching 7th and 8th graders geography and history at John T. Magee Middle School in Round Lake, Illinois. We were enjoying the second year living in our first house in Round Lake Beach. Liz was working at Beach Elementary School in Round Lake Beach, so we did not have far to drive to work.
Bringing back the memories:
THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN-- Thin Lizzy
STILL THE ONE- Orleans-
ON THE BORDER-- Al Stewart
YOU'RE MY BEST FRIEND-- Queen
SHE'S GONE-- Hall & Oates
SAY YOU LOVE ME-- Fleetwood Mac
THE MEMORY MOTEL-- Rolling Stones One I hadn't heard before off their "Black and Blue" album.
BABY, I LOVE YOUR WAY-- Peter Frampton
'LOW DOWN-- Boz Skaggs
Name That Tune (from the above songs): "Guess Who Just Got Back Today." --RoadDog
From the Wassup? Magazine.
OH HELL!! LET'S OFFEND EVERYBODY: What's the Cuban National Anthem? A. "Row, Row, Row Your Boat."

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.
