These were the songs on your radio or home stereo back on July 3, 1976. Only 40 years ago, but who's counting? Bob Stroud has been doing this every summer since the Summer of Love, 1967, or 2007 in current years. Go back 40 years and every first Sunday of the summer: June, July, August and September, play those songs.
TAKIN' IT TO THE STREETS-- Doobie Brothers (Sorry, but I like them better before Michael McDonald.)
IT KEEPS YOU RUNNING-- Carly Simon
RHIANNON-- Fleetwood Mac (And, I always thought they were an all-guy band before this. But that was no male voice under any circumstance.)
SUGAR DADDY-- Fleetwood Mac (The flipside of "Rhiannon.")
SHOW ME THE WAY-- Peter Frampton (One of the two albums that WERE the Summer of '76 for me. The other was Willie Nelson and Family.)
POOR POOR PITIFUL ME-- Warren Zevon (The guy who wrote it, but really big hit by Linda Ronstadt.)
Name That Tune (from the above): "Takes to the Sky Like a Bird in Flight, and Who Will be Her Lover." --RoadDog
THE LAST SILLY PUN: Broken pencils are pointless.
"Rhiannon"
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.
