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

Where Were You October 7, 1976? --Part 2

LET 'EM IN--  PAUL McCARTNEY & WINGS--  From Wings At the Speed of Sound-  (Can that guy do pop or what?)
SUNRISE--  ERIC CARMEN--  When the Raspberries broke up, he went on a solo stint and released a really accessible. fine first album.  It had a couple hits off it, including this one.  (I don't remember this one.)

WITH YOUR LOVE--  JEFFERSON STARSHIP--  New album entitles Spitfire.  A great Marty Balin tune.
BABY I LOVE YOUR WAY--  PETER FRAMPTON--  From Frampton Comes Alive, the number one album in town this date.  (This album was all over the radio.  I even went out and bought a copy.)

STILL THE ONE--  ORLEANS--  We lost a great vocalist this year, the group's Larry Hoppen.  (I only heard a couple of their songs on the radio, including this one.  But, I recently bought their greatest hit album and there is a lot of great stuff on it.  Kind of a mix of Doobie Bros./Eagles.)
THE WRECK OF THE EDMUND FITZGERALD--  GORDON LIGHTFOOT--  (Song about the last big ship to sink on the Great Lakes.  I used to do a three-day mini-lesson on the ship with a Great Lakes tie-in and the song.  We'd map out the places he mentioned.  The wreck anniversary is coming up early next month.)

DON'T FEAR THE REAPER--  BLUE OYSTER CULT--  From the Agents of Fortune album.
PLAY THAT FUNKY MUSIC--  WOLD CHERRY--  One-hit wonder (But what a one-hit wonder.  One of the great party songs ever.  Can white boys get funky?)

DEVIL WOMAN--  CLIFF RICHARD--  English heartthrob breaking through in American Top Ten.
IF YOU LEAVE ME NOW-- CHICAGO--  The #1 song in Chicago by some home-grown boys.  (Cousin Joe guessed this song on the first three notes.  He is a big Chicago fan thanks to me.)

Hard to Believe This Was 36 Years Ago and Galaxies far Away.  --RoadDog
