GOING BACK TO 1978!

In 1978, I was in my fourth year of teaching English at Canandaigua Academy.  I became part of the group, Meyer Miller and Mulligan, a group who played throughout the Rochester and Finger lakes Regions.  Carol Mulligan and Steve Miller were two of the finest friends and bandmates anyone could ask for.  Many great memories.   The music of 1978 served as a backdrop to the following events:

·         Egypt and Israel sign the Camp David Accords.

·         People's Temple Jonestown Suicides.

·         First Solo North Pole Expedition.

·         United Kingdom - First Test Tube Baby Born.

·         The first Garfield comic strip.

·         Susan B. Anthony Dollar.

·         US Teachers strike.

·         US Dollar plunges.

The playlist here mixes Meyer and McGuire songs with songs from 1978: Billy Joel, Kansas, Paul Simon, Linda Ronstadt, Chrystal Gayle, Jackson Browne, Bob Seger, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Kenny Rogers, and Dan Hill.  Enjoy!
