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

Forty Years Ago This Month-- Summer 1970-- Part 4

Back to July 4, 1970. Bob's comments first, mine in parentheses.

MAMA TOLD ME NOT TO COME-- THREE DOG NIGHT-- Written by Randy Newman. (I've had parties like this, but not as many anymore as it is getting too hard to recover.)
OO YOU-- PAUL McCARTNEY-- From side 2 of his first solo album entitled "McCartney." (Never heard of it.)

RIDE CAPTAIN RIDE-- BLUES IMAGE-- one-hit wonder out of Tampa Bay. On Rock and Roll Roots CD Vol. 7.
THE WITCH-- THE RATTLES-- Another one-hit wonder from Germany. (You don't get to hear this one very often.)

MAKE ME SMILE-- CHICAGO-- Their very first big hit. Off their second album. I first heard of this group back in 1969 while in North Carolina. You'd have figured I would have first heard it in Chicago, where I lived.)
MOONDANCE-- VAN MORRISON-- his latest, the title track from his latest album.

Not Only Was Stroud Playing the Songs, But Also He Was playing Some Classic Radio Commercials from Back Then. --RoadDog


REMEMBER WHEN telephones had rotary dials?
