I used to go to Mr. T's on 87th street and pick up the WLS & WCFL top 40 lists.  Sometimes I'd buy a record, usually a 45 single, occassionally an album. The Beatles were my favorite. I still have all those original albums on unlistenable vinyl. I have Simon & Garfunkel; Bob Dylan; I even had one the Monkees albums.

I went into my crawl space and came up with the box with the Silver Dollar Surveys fromthe 60's.  I realized that the first lines at least of most of those songs were deep grooves in my memory track.  I listened to the radio a lot back then. We listened in the car and took our transitor radios to the beach.

Did you have a favorite group? A special song? Go to rock concerts?

Marcia, I remember going with you to some sort of TEEN EVENT at the Amphitheater.  (Move out the Rodeo, move in the Teenagers.)   Mitch Rider and the Detroit Wheels, The Turtles, and some other groups played...The Turtles played their newest song. The singer pointed out into the audience and said "This one is for YOU". You thought he pointed at you, but I was too polite to tell you you were mistaken...he pointed at ME. (hehehe)

I still have my ticket stubs and some very blurry photos from the first Beatles concert at the International Amphitheater. My sisters and Wendy Rosenfield and I had front row seats!

FRONT ROW SEATS!!!! How did you rate??  My Mom was dead set against concerts, and I was forbidden to go. At one point I had tickets for Chad and Jeremy (for the life of my I cannot remember what they sang) and was going to sneak out, but I chickened out. When my Mom said she would kill me, I believed.

1967:  Theresa's  at 48h & indiana -- Buddy Guy & Junior Wells.

Show # 1:  Kinks, Zombies, & the Who
Show # 2:  Jethro Tull and Led Zepplin

Lastly, I remember one show where I went to hear "Albert King."  He wasn't the headliner -- B. B. King was, but the interim groups between the two men was a group I never heard of called ... uhm.. SANTANA.   Boy, what a night!  I went with Fay Nepon.  She lives in Italy now.
