WLS Top 40 Survey for September 16, 2016-- Part 5: "Born a Woman"
20. JUG BAND MUSIC-- Mugwumps This was a song written by John Sebastion of the Lovin' Spoonful. It didn't rank on Billboard. The Mugwumps most likely were a group of L.A. studio musicians, but there is big confusion as to who they were. Hearing one version on You Tube, I'd say they were the Spoonful.
I bought a Lovin' Spoonful double album set last year and it had a version of them doing this song.
19. ROLLER COASTER-- Ides of March Reached #92 on Billboard. Follow up to their "You Wouldn't Listen." Their biggest hit was "Vehicle" (#2-1970) Their only Top 40. This was WLS promoting local Chicago talent.

Just a Short 50 years ago.
30. GIRL ON A SWING-- Gerry & the Pacemakers Went to #28 on Billboard. Part of the first wave of the British Invasion. Gerry was Gerry Marsden. I had never heard this song before so had to go to You Tube.
29. CHERRY, CHERRY-- Neil Diamond Probably my second favorite Neil song. Went to #6 on Billboard. His first big hit and second charting song after his "Solitary Man" which went to #55. This is my favorite Neil song. And, if I hear "Sweet Caroline" again and have to be told to sing that refrain, I'm gonna go nuts.

26. MR. DIEINGLY SAD-- Critters #17 on Billboard. Their biggest hit. From New Jersey. Their leader was Don Ciccone who later joined the Four Seasons.
Name That Tune from the above: "So In Love Sad As Can Be." --RoadDog

A Sad September 14th for Me: My Mother Is No Longer Here
This is a hard day for me as my mother, Barbara, would have been 86 today. But we lost her suddenly back in June.
Visiting Goldsboro just isn't going to be the same.
However, she lived a good life and a long one. My dad died at age 69. Plus, other than some age ailments, she was getting around and doing what she wanted to do (and that was a lot). She was involved in many things in her beloved Goldsboro, N.C..
She was born in the house she died in. Not many can say that.
I Sure Miss Her.

North Carolina Summer 2016-- Part 13: Home
AUGUST 1, 2016, MONDAY
I left at 7 a.m. from Richmond, even though that would mean I would hit Indianapolis at 8 a.m., right in the middle of Indianapolis rush hour. And, i went right through the center of the city. Traffic was heavy, but there were no slow-downs. I stopped on the west side in Speedway and went to the Kroger store and bought two more Fuzzy's Premium Vodka 100th Running of the Indy 500 commemorative bottles.
I will be giving one to my good friend and teaching Buddy, Terri, who is a major INDY CAR fan.
Drove I-74 northwest. Gas at Crawfordsville, Indiana, a usual stop for me, was down 9 cents to $2.
Took Illinois-47 north of Mahomet and stopped in Morris at the Burger King, which still has those great greasy tacos (much like those at Jack-in-the-Box or Jacks as they call themselves now).
Arrived home and cut the grass which needed it with all the rain we've been getting since I was gone. Went boating and then to J's for half-price pizza and NTN where we had a #3 and #4 team finish.
Then went to the Sons of the American Legion meeting at the Fox Lake Legion.
