I always enjoyed playing Irish music around this time of the year back when I used to deejay and in the process, made up quite a batch of Irish cassettes.
I'm listening to one right now, Side Two of St. Paddy's Party #1. These are the songs:
Goodbye Mrs. Durkin
The Wind That Shakes the Corn
The First Love of Life
Whiskey in the Jar
Loch Lomond
Tim Finnegan's Wake
Moonshiner
Whiskey You're the Devil
Whiskey in a Jar
Beer Beer Beer
The Pub With No Beer
Drink It Up
It's All for Me Grog
Paddy on the Railway
Merry Ploughboy
Biddy Milligan
Patsy Fagan
Gypsy Rover
Irish Reels
Ireland National Anthem
Rising of the Moon (To the tune of "The Orange and the Green")
Bridget Flynn

THE LAST DANGLING PARTICIPLE: "The burglar was about 30 years old, white, 5'10", with wavy hair weighing about 150 pounds." Definitely need a big heavy comb to get through that!!
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.

Getting That Old Boating Fever
What with all the warm weather, well 50s, everyone around here is getting a real big dose of Spring Fever, and in our case, that means looking forward to getting our boat, "School's Out...Forever" out of that barn in Hebron and in the water.
Talked with "Mineola Pete" last night at Antonio's and he says that won't be too soon as there is still a lot of ice on Fox Lake. He runs the Mineola Marine and still owns the Mineola Hotel, which has been in his family since 1943.
Yesterday, taking advantage of the warmer weather, I charged and jumped the battery of the '85 Firebird and got it started. I took a ride around the subdivision. A sure sign of spring. I also started the John Deere lawn tractor and ran the mower.
Now, I need to get some gas before they raise the prices.

Interview With Bob Stroud-- Part 3: DJ WDRV, 97.1 FM in Chicago
PRIZED 45s:: Some of his picture sleeve 45s are signed by the artists and he still had his first four 45s that he bought. (I still have pretty much every 45 I bought. I'm not sure which two I bought as the very first one. It was either Dave Clark Five's "Anyway You Want It" or the Hollies' "Look Through Any Window.")
DO YOU REMEMBER THEM? (About his first four 45s) Of course: "Breaking Up Is Hard to Do" by Neil Sedaka, "Sherry" by the Four Seasons, "Alley Cat" by Bent Fabric and "Monster Mash" by Bobby "Boris" Pickett.
WHAT DO YOU LISTEN TO WHEN YOU'RE NOT AT WORK? Different things. Last night I listened to the Flaming Lips plus new stuff like Fountains of Wayne.
Keep Up the Good Work, Bob. --RoadDog
DANGLING PARTICIPLES: "We spent most of our time sitting on the back porch watching the cows playing Scrabble and reading."

2015 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductees-- Part 2
Half of the inductees will be posthumous. Paul Butterfield died in 1987, Stevie Ray Vaughan in 1990 and Lou reed just last year. he was already inducted, however, with his band, Velvet Underground in 1996.
Bill Withers, perhaps best-known for his songs "Lean On me," "Use Me," "Just the Two of Us" and "Ain't No Sunshine" told Rolling Stone Magazine that he would consider playing at the induction in April and couldn't remember the last time he'd done a concert. The last album he released was in 1985.
Congratulations to All. --RoadDog
DANGLING PARTICIPLES: "The dog was hungry and made the mistake of nipping a 2-year-old that was trying to force feed it in his ear."

Seeing Folks on TV: Buffett, Flounder, Spock and Kirk
The past several days, I have seen some interesting people on TV.
Last night, there was an old hippie helicopter pilot on "Hawaii-Five-0." At first it didn't register, but as he talked I thought it was familiar and then took a closer look and it had to be none other than Jimmy Buffett. We looked the show up on IMDB and TV Guide but there was no mention of him. We finally came across an article and...it was him.
Earlier we had watched "CHiPs" and it was about an animal house fraternity at a California college which a snooty fraternity was trying to get in trouble. The president-for-life was none other than "Animal House's" Flounder. And, they were having a toga party. It was like watching my favorite-ever movie all over again.
With the recent death of Leonard Nimoy, we found out that Nimoy and William Shatner of "Star Trek" fame first appeared together on an episode of "Man from U.N.C.L.E.." It was on MeTV Thursday. This was filmed several years before they became Mr. Spock and Captain Kirk. And Commandant Klink from "Hogan's Heroes" was on the episode as well.

2015 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductees-- Part 1
From the December 17, 2014, Chicago Tribune "Rock Hall class includes Jett, Withers, Reed."
Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Green Day, Bill Withers, Lou reed, Stevie Ray Vaughan and the Paul Butterfield Blues Band will make up the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Class of "15.
Ringo Starr will be honored with the Award of Excellence (he was also inducted with the Beatles in April). Personally, I think he should be inducted on his own as he certainly had some great songs after the Beatles broke up, plus his All-Star bands he tours with all these years.
The North Carolina R&B "5" Royales will be honored with the Early Influence Award. They combined gospel, doo-wop and jump blues in their music and were a big part of Beach Music.
Come On Ringo!! --RoadDog

Interview With Bob Stroud, WDRV DJ-- Part 2
BEST AND WORST YEARS FOR TEN AT TEN: This popular show, shown at 10 a.m. and 10 p.m. focuses ion the years 1967-1989. Of course, he grew up in the years 1960s to 1970s so all these years are favorites. He especially likes 1971. The 80s are sketchy.
I wish he would go back as far as 1965.
ONE 45 AT 1:45: He gets to play some songs the station doesn't play often. he especially likes it because he is actually playing a 45 and they all come from his personal collection which he keeps in a cabinet and they are alphabetized. That's what I do with my 45s as well.
Scratch, pop, Hiss. --RoadDog
DANGLING PARTICIPLES: Organ donations from the living reached a record high last year, outnumbering donors who are dead for the first time.

An Interview With Chicago's WDRV DJ Bob Stroud-- Part 1
From the July 2014, Illinois Entertainer.
Bob Stroud has been a Chicago radio personality for nearly four decades now and the last 12 have been at Chicago's WDRV 97.1 FM. "Very few people in the world know more about Rock and Roll music than Bob Stroud."
I have been a long-time fan of Bob Stroud and I agree that his knowledge of rock is pretty much unbelievable. He has two shows that I am particularly fond of and mention often: Ten at ten (earlier post today) and his Sunday morning Rock and Roll Roots show. I am generally right by the radio to listen to these shows. I am always amazed by the depth of his knowledge and enjoy all the little tidbits he offers up after songs.
Some of what he said in the interview:
BEST CONCERT: Paul McCartney at Wrigley Field. Roy Orbison at the Riviera.
FAVORITE FEMALE ROCKERS: Joni Mitchell and Laura Nyro.
FAMOUS ROCKERS HE'S MET: He's met Paul McCartney and Brian Wilson several times. The worst rocker was Chris Robinson of the Black Crowes, whom Stroud described as a "complete dick on the air."
More to Come. --RoadDog

Good Times Around Here Last Weekend
Who says you can't have fun in the middle of a crummy winter. This past February goes down as the coldest in Chicago history since the 1870s (and that includes that horrendous last year).
Two of my favorite things to do this time of the year are to go to local business expos and chili cookoffs.
SATURDAY, FEB. 28TH: I went to the Richmond-Spring Grove (Illinois) Business Expo around noon. Then we went over to Hickory Lodge in McCullom Lake and enjoyed the chili cookoff and a band playing all sorts of 60s music. Stopped at Tommy's on the way home to say goodbye to friend Kenny.
SUNDAY, MARCH 1ST: At 11, we went to the Lodge of Antioch for their breakfast and also they had an acoustic performer playing music. Where you going to get breakfast and entertainment before noon? Then drove to Wisconsin ans stopped at Kelly's, had Bloody Marys at Main Street in Twin Lakes and watched the Atlanta NASCAR race in Atlanta.
MONDAY, MARCH 2ND: We drove to Waukegan, Illinois, and met Kevin and Kelly at Booner's. They have just gotten NTN and we showed them how to play it and did very well with three Top Twenty finishes. We stopped at White Castle on the way home (for those Sliders, you know) and then stopped at the Legion.
