Ah, the good old days…
Actually, 1977 was not exactly a banner year for me. I was just out of high school (1976, Chaminade High School in Mineola, New York), quit college after one semester (SUNY New Paltz, where the only thing I learned was how to hold my liquor), got immediately engaged (and then married before the year was out – no, it wasn’t a shotgun wedding…) and started working for my father. That was thirty years ago. Guess where I’m still working today? The job lasted 25 years longer than the marriage…
Taking all of this into consideration, it is somewhat ironic that the first two songs from today’s show both take a wistful look at days gone by. Stevie and Bob are both waxing reminiscent about the early sixties, though, an era that still has a romantic air about it. But I suppose that 1977 has a charm of its own, and I hope we convey some of that here.
