Saturday, I negotiated the horrible mess that is streets in McHenry, Illinois, to visit my local mom and pop record store and spend some dough. It didn't much matter which street you took, traffic was backed up and you waited and waited. Il-120 and Il-31 in town are receiving a long overdue construction project.
Talked with the owner who said the Record Store Day we had several weeks ago was the best-ever. He had over 500 customers that day and made enough profit to buy himself a new car with cash. Perhaps there is hope for old non-downloading folk like me who just play cassette tapes, vinyl and CDs.
I bought four CDs and an album.
The album was continuing with my collecting Dave Clark Five music "I Like It Like That." It features that song.and eleven others I haven't heard before.
As the liner notes said: "Exactly what consumes D.C. fans is Dave's compelling directness, a beat that's brazen and bold (to say the least), an approach to tunes (mostly penned with other members of his glad-all-over group) that's rugged and rousing. In all, music that is as direct as its lyrics."

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.
