J’ever write something, knowing that it’s not right, but you keep going anyway? A sort of cranial vapor lock? That’s the case here: I know Clint Holmes did ‘Playground’ as well as I know the Beatles did ‘Sunshine of Your Love’.

I stand corrected.

Thanks for visiting!

Namaste,

Boy, I was 13 at that tim. My kids are 19 and 15 y.o now. Let me tell you that (believe or not)both are Beatles freaks. Most of their friends think that songs from the 70’s and 80’s are really music and my mixes are their object of desire. So cheers up for the new generation !
BTW, the links are really not working.
Keep on,

Appreciate all the comments…indeed, it was 35 years ago (and my math stands corrected). And, as far as I can tell, all the links are working…anyone else having troubles? I’ve taken to making CD’s for the kids that mix old and new (Stir It Up by Johnny Nash followed by St. Andrews by Bedouin Soundclash, for example). They spend a lot of time commuting to school and soccer games…getting a real education on the way!

Like you a, 10 yrs old in ‘73 … these titles bring back a lot of memorys … these songs were on the CHUM AM playlist in ‘73, I remember listening to them on a tiny transistor radio at the cottage, while sitting or play at the dock. Would really like to hear them again, but your links are broken
Hope the business trip went well.

“Uneasy Rider” makes me wonder what Charlie Daniels could have been.

You’ve nailed it. I was 13 that summer, with the radio constantly on.
