Walked back into the house to the familiar strains of the original Chicago Transit Authority album which is the only one that matters and that I played right into it's grave and had to find another copy which was much harder thab I imagined. Greetings Steve !!!

Hello again N/GDG, it's been too long! I'm amazed how many vinyl copies of the album I see around. They all need to find good homes... best record they ever did, and a stone cold classic in and of itself...

Out about shopping and listening in the car when I can. Loved the last one. Anyway, good evening Steve. BTW: you mentioned at the beginning? If so, I thought the car radio was having issues.

In the kitchen when I heard the opening refrain of a favourite Beatles song in a very nice cover. That's my boy with the golden covers !

Went to the world's smallest record store last week while on vacation which is just northwest of Sault Ste. Marie and housed in an a trailer and since no one actually works there, sales are based on the honour system.

You're right Steve, "You Could Have Been a Lady", was written by Tony Wilson and Errol Brown, and released as a single in 1971. April Wine's version was released one year later in 1972.
