Every summer Bob Stroud takes us back fifty years ago to, as he calls it, "The songs on the radio and in your record collection" that date. He'll do it three more times in July, August and September. His Rock and Roll Roots show runs on Chicago's WDRV, the Drive, at 97.1 FM and streams from 9 am to noon CDST.
