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

What Were You Doing August 5, 1972?-- Part 6

And, final part.  A trip back 40 years ago.  Really?  Forty years?  Ya Gotta Be Kiddin' Me!!!

SUMMER SUN--  JAMESTOWN MASSACRE--  A local hit by a local band, included in our second volume of Rock and Roll Roots.

ZIGGY STARDUST--  DAVID BOWIE--  The album now about six weeks old where he looked like an extra from "Star Trek."  Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars.
YOU WEAR IT WELL--  ROD STEWART--  Brand new 45 from the upcoming  album Never a Dull Moment.  Highly anticipated after the success of Every Picture Tells a Story.

ALONE AGAIN (NATURALLY)--  GILBERT O'SULLIVAN--  The Number one song in town 40 years ago this date.  One of the biggest hits of the summer.  (Go ahead and not sing along with it when you hear it.  I dare you.  I sure was.)

These are songs that Stroud used to come back from commercials where he would play a little bit of it.

THIS MASQUERADE--  LEON RUSSELL--
THE POWER OF LOVE--  JOE SIMON--

HOLD HER TIGHT--  OSMOND BROTHERS--  Copping a lick from Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song."

Part 4 of the Summer of '72 will be aired September 2nd from 7 to 10 AM, CDST.  www.wdrv.com.

Thanks for the Memories, Bob.  --RoadDog

FUNNY HEADLINE:  Death causes lonliness, feeling of isolation.
