Sometimes You Need Some Cruisin' Music, 1972-- Part 1: 'Me and Julio Down By the Old School Yard'

On August 21, 2021, Frank E. Lee of Chicago's WXRT, 93.1 FM went back to 1972, 49 years ago and played music you'd hear on WXRT.  This was WXRT's first year on the radio when it would come on at midnight on a foreign language station.  So glad to still have them.

And, of course, here is some really good cruisin' music.

BLUE SKY--  Allman Brothers Band

ME AND JULIO DOWN BY THE OLD SCHOOL YARD--  Paul Sinon

TUMBLING DICE--  Rolling Stones

FRANCINE--  ZZ Top

ROCKET MAN--  Elton John   Always reminds me of driving from the University of Georgia to NIU to see him at the Chick Evans Field House.  I drove the famous Ramblin' Wreck, a '63 Rambler my parents had bought me.  It got about 50 miles to the quart of oil.

COCONUT--  Nilsson

DO IT AGAIN--  Steely Dan

THE LION SLEPS TONIGHT--  Robert John

HI HI HI--  Paul McCartney

IT DOESN'T MATTER--  Stephen Stills

LONG DISTANCE RUNAROUND/THE FISH--  Yes

Nam That Tune (from the above songs):  "She Packed My Bags Last Night Pre-Flight."  Answer below.  --RoadDog
