Things We Do For Love
10 CC was a a big act back in the Seventies. “Like walkin in the rain and the snow and there’s no where to go. Feels like a part of you is dying”. The ultimate polished production from England. Seems like the British bands had more classical music education than the Americans. This loop is cycling through my Jukebox brain and I don’t even like the song. Such is the curse of pop music. Hooks that won’t leave us alone. I went home to Florida for high school reunion and everyone wanted me to sit in with the cover band.

So he counted off a hit song from the seventies and I matched the record parts drum note perfect. When we were done everybody cheered and the leader’s mouth was hanging open. “Who ARE You?!” He asked with amazement and awe.
“Just another 1967 alumni.”
