Going Back to Summer '77-- Part 10: "Don't Stop"

Part 4 of Bob Stroud's annual trip back to a summer 40 years ago took place on September 3.  This time, 40 years ago was 1977.

I was back in school teaching 7th and 8th graders at Magee Middle School in Round Lake, Illinois.  Liz was teaching 1st grade at Beach Elementary School in Round Lake Beach.  We were living at 1013 Morningside in Round Lake Beach, Illinois, so both of us didn't have far to drive to school.

SMOKE FROM A DISTANT FIRE--  Townsend Sanford Band    A lot of local bands also were  using the two name name back then.  We had the Thompson-Rydberg band in Lake County.
HIGH ROLLER--  Little Feat   I didn't know about them back then, but now they are one of my favorite bands.
LITTLE DARLIN' I NEED YOU--  Doobie Brothers   Getting their Soul thing on.

BLACK BETTY--  Ram Jam    I suppose they couldn't sing this song in today's clime.
BREAKDOWN--  Alan Parsons Project
DON'T STOP--  Fleetwood Mac   They were everywhere on the radio back then, the Peter Frampton of the year before.

WHAT YOU GONNA DO--  Pablo Cruise
ONE LOVE--  Bob Marley   Good old reggae, but I didn't really get into it until around 1981.  Big fan, now, though.
TELEPHONE LINE--  Electric Light Orchestra

Name That Tune (from above songs):  "The Damn Thing Gone Wild (Ban-Ba-Lam)."  Answer below.  --RoadDog

LIFE'S LITTLE TRUTHS:  Amazing!  You just hang something in your closet for awhile and it shrinks two sizes.
