I went with choices, not so much of songs I loved, but that the memory seems strong in my childhood.
Day 12: Night Chicago Died / Paperlace
Sometime around 1973-74, my parents gave me an old hand-me-down mono record player. One of my best friends at the time -- wonder what happened to Chad -- turned me on to this song. I got an LP called Dynamite which was one of the first compilation albums from K-Tel. Remember them? "The Night Chicago Died" and others from that album were my first exposures to Pop and Rock.
I swear I painted this as a kid:
This very same paint-by-numbers. I wonder if my copy some how ended up on a NYC bathroom wall or if someone else painted one too.
