What Were You Doing March 3, 1975?-- Part 1

For the second half of his Rock and Roll Roots show, Bob Stroud jumped ahead ten years to 1975.  I was finishing up my second year of teaching and we were living in an apartment in Vernon Hills, Illinois.  We were getting ready to have a house built for us in Round Lake Beach for $33,000.  We moved in during the summer and lived there for 17 years.

CAN'T GET IT OUT OF MY MIND--  ELO--  A very Beatlesque song, the closest thing we had to the Beatles other than the four solo Beatles.
LUCY IN THE SKY WITH DIAMONDS--  ELTON JOHN--  (From the "Sgt. Pepper's" movie.  Speaking of Beatlesque!))

I CAN HELP--  BILY SWAN--  one-hit wonder (And one that didn't end when you thought it would.)
PICK UP THE PIECES--  AVERAGE WHITE BAND--  Out of Scotland and not the Bay City Rollers.  (Who says the Scots can't do the blues?)

BEST OF MY LOVE--  EAGLES--  From their third album On the Border and their first #1 hit.
LET IT ROLL ON DOWN THE HIGHWAY--  BTO--  (A great driving song for some reason.)

LONELY PEOPLE--  AMERICA--  Written by the late-great Dan Peece.
BUNGLE IN THE JUNGLE--  JETHRO TULL--  US top 40 hit.  Their latest from the War Child album.
