When I lived in the college dorms (Kalamazoo MI.) in 1976 there were invariably two songs wafting out of the dorm rooms.... Peter Frampton “Show Me The Way and Bob Seger “Night Moves” 24 hours a day.

I lived in Iowa until 1979. Seeing bands like Peter Frampton and REO Speedwagon playing in a farmfield to HUGE crowds was the norm.

An old high school friend from Iowa found me recently on Fakebook and said he remembered how I'd said "Frampton Comes Alive" was going to change music forever.

Honest to God, I don't remember saying any such thing. I do remember playing that album on my turntable until it wore out, and years later the guy who'd invented the mouth guitar that Peter Frampton used on "Frampton Comes Alive" would be a fellow Ham Radio guy who INVENTED that mouth guitar, and who's microphone line I own as part of my own ham radio hobby.

Who knew?

And BTW: I wasn't a big Bob Seger fan back in the day, but now? HELL YEAH. "Turn the Page" is a big time fav. of mine.
