Apt life has its advantages over house&garden living...I don't miss garden chores...plus my older rental building has almost all the same plants/trees as my former home. So I'm still able to enjoy a "home garden"... without the effort!

And one of the locally recognized and most beloved dj’s from Philly last fall. At WMMR for 43 years and an icon in the city. The are dedicating a bench to him in Rittenhouse Square where he would spend time reading and of course, several days before his unexpected passing.

The second time in two days that I've heard this cut. Dave The Spazz played it on Thursday. I've heard ABOUT this song for years, but now, this week, I've heard it twice! I think my life is improved!
Oh yeah. He was not just on air
and went home after his shift. Always out and about and spoke to EVERYONE that approached them and would genuinely speak with them. And with that many ye tats he knew all the bands that came through. Endlessly promoted local talent and various charities. He had no family and the city was truly family 24/7. After he passed it came out that when listeners would call in and were going through a difficulty of some sort, and wanted to see a show coming to town he would buy them a ticket from his own pocket. Had an amazing memory for people he met. Originally a San Francisco area native, he can to Philly in a VW microbus he named Minerva. Notorious late for, he frequently parked on the street and acquired so many tickets that one day it was towed

Paul in the OC:
Why of all the poor taste! :D Well somebody had to play it & frankly it's a great tribute.
Yes...by that point in '77 I was definitely moving more towards early punk artists...so they would have been one of the last "arena size" acts I caught that year...after that it was almost strictly smaller & more emerging/edgy artists/bands.

Yep, Southern artists of the kind my Louisiana-born dad used to love are not typically thought of as Philly-friendly. But there was a great turnout of Philly black folks, so maybe it was transplanted Southerners in the crowd.

Yep, Southern artists of the kind my Louisiana-born dad used to love are not typically thought of as Philly-friendly. But there was a great turnout of Philly black folks, so maybe it was transplanted Southerners in the crowd.clarke:

New Roads is a town built around this long lake - i never thought about this, but at one time it was probably part of the Miss River - very cool area with 'camps' about the lakePaulRobeson1926:
↳ Song: "Patches" by "Clarence Carter"
YeaGaylord Fields: Yep, False River — a lake that was formed when the Mississippi rerouted.

Van Winkle ;-): My earliest memories of gas prices...mid 60s...peering out the car window ...was 39¢ a gallon*
*In Canada our fuel ...when it was still sold/measured in gallons so our gas gallons were 160 ounces not the US-sized standard 128 ounces.
But 39¢ / 49¢ / 59¢ prices went on for ages...but wages were low as well.

Van Winkle ;-):
↳ Song: "Patches" by "Clarence Carter"
To be honest...even as a kid I found this song too painful to listen to when it was in regular am airplay...& it certainly got played A LOT!!!But Clarence's amazing ability to emote/perform that story so well can't be understated.
