John Fogerty's Birthday Today

And I didn't even know it until Bob Stroud devoted his Ten at Ten on Chicago's WDRV, 97.1 FM, The Drive to John Fogerty music, both with that band (my favorite all-time band) and solo.

Born May 28, 1945, making him four days and six years older than me.

These are the songs Stroud played:

TEN AT TEN

Proud May

Bad Moon Rising  (For many years the ringtone on my phone.)

Down on the Corner

Old Man Down the Road

Who'll Stop the Rain  (I remember waking up on race day at the Indy 500 at the opening at 6 am and they started with this song when rain was expected.)

Centerfield

Fortunate Son

Rock and Roll Girls

Have You Ever Seen the Rain

Change in the Weather

Love That Creedence Clearwater Revival.  --Roaderty

WLS Top 25 for Week of February 12, 1973-- Part 3: 'Dancing in the Moonlight'

*  Means the song was climbing the charts.  The number after the artist is how high the song got on the Billboard Hot 100 National Chart.

15.  JAMBALAYA (ON THE BAYOU)--  Blue Ridge Rangers      #16     But you might know them better as John Fogerty.  Where's Creedence?  Ol' Hank would be so proud.  This was a #1 country hit in1952 for Hank Williams.

14.  LAST SONG--  Edward Bear    #3       Little did I know this was the name of a band, not a solo performer.   Pop trio from Toronto, Canada.

13.  DANCING IN THE MOONLIGHT--  King Harvest      #13     Takes me right back to 1973.  At this time I was getting ready to start student teaching in my senior year at NIU.  Their one and only Top 40 hit.

12.  YOUR MAMA DON'T DANCE--  Loggins & Messina      #4      Gotta love this song.  Their only Top Ten as a duo.

11.  ROCKY MOUNTAIN HIGH--  John Denver       #9      We could sure use another John Denver about now.  Was that David Crosby in the audience at the beginning of the video for the Wildlife Concert?

Name That Tune (from the above songs):  "Goodbye Joe, Me Gotta Go, Me Oh, My Oh."  Answer below.  --RoadDog

Those Puzzling Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd Song Titles

Saturday, August 14

In the morning I was doing these blogs and listening to Bill St. James' Time Warp Show on Chicago's WDRV, 97.1 FM.  And, he was featuring 1969, a great high school college year for me and played two songs which took my right back to NIU.

The first was "Whole Lotta Love" by Led Zeppelin and right after it he played "Commotion" by my all-time favorite 60s band (well, 70s as well), CCR, or Creedence Clearwater Revival.  Man, I was right back.

"Whole Lotta Love" is one of the very few Lez Zeppelin songs I know the title of when I hear the song.  For some reason, I just can't remember those song titles.  And the Drive (WDRV) plays lots and lots of Led Zeppelin in their Classic Rock format.  They also play a whole lot of Pink Floyd, another group I have big problems with song titles.

I've heard all the songs from albums of these two groups and recognize the song as one of theirs.  But, name the song, I can't.  If I were ever to get on Sherman and Tingle's show on the Drive and play their Seven Songs in 30 Seconds Challenge I'd be dead in the water if they played any by these two groups.  (They play the song and you guess its name.)

On the subject of Pink Floyd, I was in Mt. Airy, North Carolina,  (the inspiration for Andy Griffith's Mayberry) once and saw a great tee shirt for sale.  It featured a picture of Floyd the Barber in pink and under it, it said "Pink Floyd."  I almost bought it, but like with baseball caps, I sure don't need anymore tee shirts.

I Call WDRV the Station That Zep and Floyd Built.  --RoadDoh!

About This Last Weekend-- Part 3: Too Many Sliders, Bars, $1 Beers, Bands and Adequate Bloody Marys

SATURDAY, JULY 24

We went to Stucky's in Johnsburg, but didn't have anything to eat because of too many White Castle Sliders earlier in the day, but did enjoy their $1 draft pints.

SUNDAY, JULY 25

I ended up recording much of Bob Stroud's Rock and Roll Roots on a 90-minute cassette (that's right, CASSETTES) because he was Root Saluting Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Cosmo's Factory" album, which was released 51 years ago this week in 1970.  And, of course, CCR is my favorite band, the only one I would buy their new albums the day they came out.  Thanks, for making my day, Bob.

Then, Liz and I went to Stucky's where they were having a solo performer playing outside on their deck.  He was good, though took way too long of a break.  But, when he played "The Rodeo Song" and "The I-95 Song" the place went crazy.

Then, we went to the McHenry American Legion for those great "Adequate" $2.50 Bloody Marys and they had a duo playing.

Like I Said, Good Times.  --RoadDog

These were the songs on the WLS, 890 AM radio that the youth in Chicago were listening to exactly fifty years ago.  Let's see, fifty years ago, I guess they aren't so youthful anymore.*  means the song was climbing the charts.  The number after the artist is how high the song got on the Billboard National Hot 100 Charts.

ALL HIT BOUND

*SWEET HITCH-HIKER--  Creedence Clearwater Revival    #6    Is this Classic Rock or What?  Their last Top Ten hit.

*SIGNS--  Five Man Electrical Band     #3    (I once tried to sing this at karaoke with a very poor performance.  In my defense, I practiced it in my head and thought I could do it.  I couldn't.)  Their only Top Ten.  From Ontario, Canada.

27.  *LOVE MEANS--  Sounds of Sunshine    #39   Full title "Love Means (You Never Have to Say You're Sorry)"  Never heard it before.   Right up there with that ultra-syrupy "Honey" in my book.  Not too fond of this.

26.  *MOON SHADOW--  Cat Stevens     #30       Follow up to "Wild World"  (#11-1971)     Whenever I peer out the window at night with the moon out and see those trees casting shadows, I think of this song.
