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

Going Back to the Summer of 1977-- Part 7: "Peace of Mind"


This past Sunday, we had Bob Stroud do the third part of his annual salute to summer 40 years ago.  He played the songs on the radio and in our record collections on August 13, 1977.

Back in that summer, we were living at 1013 Morningside in Round Lake Beach, Illinois, and enjoying our summer vacation from teaching.  Both of us taught in the Round Lake school system.  Liz taught first grade at Beach School and I taught 7-8th grade at Magee Middle School.

We sure had a great time with our neighbors back then.

Here are the songs Bob played:

LONELY BOY--  Andrew Gold    Born in '51 just like me.
GOOD MORNING JUDGE--  10 CC
WE JUST DISAGREE--  Dave Mason   One of the best songs ever.

PEACE OF MIND--  Boston
REMEMBER THE DAYS OF THE OLD SCHOOL YARD--  Cat Stevens
I ROBOT--  Alan Parsons Group

JET AIRLINER--  Steve Miller Band   Sure enjoyed seeing him play this song at the Indy 500 Carb Day.
DARK STAR--  Crosby, Stills & Nash   All those great harmonies.
YOU AND ME--  Alice Cooper

Name That Tune (from the above songs):  "Leaving Home Out On the Road I've Been Down Before."  Answer below.  --RoadDog

SOX-CUBS CROSSTOWN RIVALRY:  Sox fan to Cub fan--  "Wrigleyville isn't even real Chicago.  Once you get north of Division Street you might as well be in Wisconsin."

"Jet Airliner"
