♫ Hitchin' A Ride ♫

I hadn’t even given thought to a music post for today when I received an email from my friend Michael Seidel with this note … I was listening to a song in my morning mental music stream this morning and thought, hey, that sounds like it could be a Jill song.  The title is “Hitchin’ A Ride”. Performed by Vanity Fair, it came out in 1969. Don’t know if you ever played it.  At first the title didn’t…

Paper Lace - The Night Chicago Died (1974)

"And the sound of the battle rang

Through the streets of the old East Side

Till the last of the hoodlum gang

Had surrendered up or died.

There was shouting in the street

And the sound of running feet,

And I asked someone, who said:

''Bout a hundred cops are dead!'

I heard my momma cry,

I heard her pray the night Chicago died!

Brother, what a night it really was!

Brother, what a fight it really was!

Glory be."
