ROCKUMENTARY: MAY 4, 1978

Where were you on Thursday, May 4, 1978?

I had changed jobs, leaving the computer shop of an oil company R&D division and moving to the bank that would eventually become First Interstate, now working in L.A.’s Wilshire District rather than the San Gabriel Valley. I moved from Pomona to the Crescenta Valley, which was still a well kept secret due to the fact that I-210 hadn’t yet been completed and still dead-ended at Sunland. I had met a lady who shared my interest in classical music, so my exposure to the current scene was limited to commute time on the Glendale Freeway when I listened to KHJ.

Let’s cue the Rockumentary theme!

San Remo Golden Strings: “Festival Time”

They had gone through several changes in emphasis and would go through even more changes as they adapted to the times. This came in at #10 this week.

This is one of the most important recordings of the Seventies and one of the decade’s greatest songs. It’s horribly depressing but intensely beautiful. It came in at #9.
