Yesterday, Bob Stroud did the second part of his annual four part Summer Show for 1972, featuring what was playing on the radio (here in Chicago WLS and WCFL) and in our record collections for July 1, 1972. Of course, I just had to listen to it (and record it on cassette tapes for cruising around in the '85 Firebird and '03 Malibu which both still have cassette players).
July 1, 1972, I was in the summer session (as in school) at the University of Georgia, preparing to transfer back to Northern Illinois University. I especially was enjoying the Civil War class with Dr. Emory Thomas who has written several books on the war. Best part was his sandbox recreations of battles. Hey, Civil War and sandboxes, what more can a college boy ask for?
BRANDY-- LOOKING GLASS-- Debuted on the local charts 40 years ago this week. (And still one of my favorites.)
HARVEST-- NEIL YOUNG-- Still one of the most-played albums in our collections even though at this time it was 3-4 months old, the title track.
TOO LATE TO TURN BACK NOW-- CORNELIUS BROTHERS & SISTER ROSE-- A great little pop-soul original.
AFTER MIDNIGHT-- Latest 45.
ONE WAY OUT-- ALLMAN BROTHERS--From the great Eat a Peach album, one of the top-tenselling albums here. (Always reminds me of Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Gimme Three Steps" for some reason.
Just Getting Into It. --RoadDog
YOU CAN RETIRE TO PHOENIX where you are willing to park three blocks away and walk because you found shade.
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.
