Where were you on Wednesday, May 4, 1977?
I was working for an oil company’s R&D division in the San Gabriel Valley, looking to do something more business-oriented in computers. That would happen in a few months.
Let’s cue the Rockumentary theme!
San Remo Golden Strings: “Festival Time”
For those who remember the Norman Whitfield songbook at Motown, you might recall what happened when Whitfield left Motown to start his own label. This was one of his groups, whose entry came in at #10 this week.

In third grade. :)
Where were you on Wednesday, May 4, 1977?
That’s easy. I was at my second Kentucky Derby Festival in beautiful Louisville with the US Navy Steel Band. We played a morning concert in Freedom Hall at the Kentucky State Fair and Exposition Center, had a youumy lunch at Ollie’s Trolly (Ollie Burgers and spicey fries), played an afternoon concert at Louisville Waterfront Park for our old pals the Blue Angels’ Air Show and then boarded The Belle Of Louisville for dinner and The Great Steamboat Race (we lost) followed by a moonlight concert and mint julips in the steamboat’s ballroom. After the river cruise about half of us hightailed over to the Kentucky Derby Jam in time to catch the last half of Charlie Daniel’s set and The Allman Brothers who closed the show. What a fine day!
