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

Forty Years Ago This Month-- Summer of 1970-- Part 3

Stroud's comments first, mine in parentheses. How does Bob Stroud know this much stuff?


MISSISSIPPI-- JOHN PHILLIPS-- It had been a couple years that the Mamas and Papas had broken up. (I really like this song and hadn't heard it in longer than I can remember.)
BALL OF CONFUSION-- TEMPTATIONS-- (The world was messed up back then. Things haven't changed all that much since then, either.)

HI-DE-HO-- BLOOD SWEAT & TEARS-- The lead-off selection of one of the most anticipated alums of the year "Blood Sweat & Tears 3." Written by Carole King. (My fav. BS&T song.)
CARRY ON-- CROSBY, STILLS, NASH & YOUNG-- Leadoff track from their latest, "Deja-Vu."

DHARMA FOR ONE/WOODEN SHIPS-- IDES OF MARCH The "Vehicle" album had now been in our hand. Their version of the CSN song coupled with an instrumental off a Jethro Tull album. (And, a Chicago group to boot.)
RUN THROUGH THE JUNGLE-- CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL-- "B" side of "Up Around the Bend." (CSNY and CCR, my two favorite bands back then.)

CECILIA-- SIMON AND GARFUNKEL-- From "Bridge Over troubled Water" album. (Like I said before, my favorite S&G song. I'm REALLY enjoying this.)
YOU BETTER THINK TWICE-- POCO-- From their self-titles second album. Great song from Jimmy Messina. (CCR and CSNY and the Byrds got us into country rock. Poco WAS country Rock.)

Like McDonald's Says, "I'm Lovin' It." --RoadDog


REMEMBER WHEN there were party lines on telephones?
