I remember when I first heard Dr Hook on the radio, when I was a teen. I immediately thought that they were very entertaining, and that they were definitely Stoners, but don't quote me on this, because regardless of how cool and fun they were, when they got together and sang for an audience, that doesn't necessarily mean that they were smoking a joint, before they got up on the stage, to perform their songs.
I am including two videos because I was torn between two of their songs, which I thought were really cool sounding.
The first video is 'Cover of the Rolling Stone', and the second video is 'Sylvia's Mother'. Enjoy.
Were you a fan of this band? If so, What is your favorite song, or songs?

Sister Golden Hair
When the band 'America' became popular in the mid to late 70's, I liked 4 or 5 of their songs. I felt like I could relate to the song "Sister Golden Hair", because of my blond hair. Keeping in mind that I was 14 going on 15, at the time that this song was being played on the radio.
I hope that their are more people out there, who just plain liked this song, even if it didn't have anything to do with the color of their hair.

Don't Call Us, We'll Call You
This song was one of Sugar Loaf's top 10 hits. It rose to #9, on the U.S. billboard charts, in 1975.
When I was a teenager, I looked forward to Sundays, because that was when, Casey Kasem's top 40, would air, on our local A.M. radio station, WPDM, which finally acquired an F.M. station, about a year or two, before I went into the Army, and left my home town, for good.
I can't remember, what year it was, when my older brother won the contest from that radio station, where the prize was the top 40 show, which was on a double record album. I use to play it, when he was working at the library, unknown to him, until now.
Incidentally, I am not lucky. I never win anything of significance. Oh well, no matter. I am lucky in love, although I had to wait for it. Yes, good things come to those who wait, or who learn the hard way, like I did. Shoulda, coulda, woulda.
Sometimes, I would have 3 or 4, of my friends at my house, when the top 100, would be on the radio, and we would try to guess, what that weeks #1 song would be. The rule being that you had to guess it, before it got below a certain number.
This video is from a rock show, which consisted of band members from the 70's, who are singing, their top 10, hit songs. I was hoping to find a video, with the original band members singing it live, but unfortunately, I don't think there was a live performance, that was put on film, of that. If I am lucky enough to find it, in the future, I will definitely post it, for you to view.
Fingers crossed, everyone :)

Remembering the cool bands
I remember listening to many bands, back when I was a young teen, that literally changed the way that I talked and dressed, so that I could appear cool, which I am not even sure, if anyone really noticed, whether I was cool or not.
This music video is from one of my favorite bands of the 70's who helped to steer me on the path toward listening to acid rock, heavy metal, and now, alternative rock. Before I heard this song, I was listening to music from the Carpenters , the seekers , the Cowsills, and some other folk type bands , believe it or not.
Here is another video for you to watch. Thank goodness for Ozzy is all I can say about that LOL.
