1972 signaled true adulthood for me with the end of my Army days, my first place of my own and a summer wedding to my first wife. 1972 was also when I finally started buying more albums than 45s.

You wrote: “Whiteray . . . will probably beat me at the topic, too.” Well, having read this post three times, I’d be glad if I could make it a draw. This is one sweet post!

Wow. You truly captured that last summer before quasi-responsibility came crashing down. Although my friends and I had a lot of fun, we also bellyached a ot about there being “nothing to do.” Ah, for such “boredom” now.

May 12th,1972….it was a Friday night and I listened to all 21 innings of a suspended game between the Milwaukee Brewers and the Minnesota Twins. The score was tied tied after 21 innings and the game was called on account of American League curfew at 1am and was to be resumed the following day. I don’t remember what radio station I was listening to for the game, but following the broadcast, the DJ played “I Saw The Light” by Todd Rundgren before signing off. That was a great song to finish the day…and night as it was WAAAY past my bedtime. (The Brewers eventutally won it, 5-4 in 22 innings.)
