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

Where Were You September 6, 1969? --Part 3

Continuing with Bob Stroud's Rock and Roll Roots Time Warp back to the Summer of '69 as we are fogged in this morning. This is his fourth and final installment of the show. If you are of the age (as I am, summer between graduating high school and before college), you really missed some memories. Hopefully the list will help, but nothing like listening to the actual music.

You can catch his show via the internet at www.wdrv.com between 7 and 10 AM CST every Sunday on WDRV, the Drive, from Chicago.

SUITE: JUDY BLUE EYES-- CROSBY, STILLS & NASH-- From the album "Crosby, Stills and Nash." (Great harmonies from a group I liked just as well as CCR.)
WHEN I DIE-- MOTHERLODE-- Canadian band

CINNAMON GIRL-- NEIL YOUNG-- Another Canadian artist we were listening to because we had his second album in our collection "Everybody Knows This is Nowhere." (Love that guitar bit. Cinnamon is one of the hardest words for me to spell.)
CARRY ME BACK-- RASCALS-- blowing us away with each and every release. New in your radio. (They had dropped the Young from name. Guess they were getting older.)

LAY LADY LAY-- BOB DYLAN-- latest album "Nashville Skyline." Great song from an even better album. Made me think, "Hey this country stuff ain't all that bad. Perhaps this album can be credited with my getting into country music a few years later.)
MAYBE-- JANIS JOPLIN-- Mew one from her upcoming release "I Got Dem Old Kosmic Blues Again." From the R&B classic. (by the Chantels. Pouring out her soul in every single word.)

GREEN RIVER-- CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL-- current "45", the "A" side. (Ahh, Creedence.)
LADY SAMANTHA-- THREE DOG NIGHT-- This is likely the first Elton John Bernie Taupin composition many of us had heard here in the United States as it was included in their second album "Suitable for Framing."

As usual, Stroud's comment first. Mine in parentheses.
