Song 798: This week on the playlist you can hear Give a Little BIt by Supertramp, written by Rick Davies and Roger Hodgson, and you can find a cool YouTube video of it by clicking on the title. As the late fall arrived in the Windy City region in 1977, I looked forward to the coming spring because I planned to say farewell to that area when the warmer weather returned. During that stretch, I spent a lot of time behind the wheel and listened to the radio as I did, often singing along with anthems like this request. When I looked in the mirror back then, I could see the man with the lonely eyes, and in that era, I also wrote my own song about having a female Gimme What I Want. When the higher temperatures returned, I did a quick trip going home to visit my parents in upstate NY, and then, after a brief return to the northern edge of Chicago, in early July I stretched out my thumb towards the west and soon got a long ride that took me to the East Bay of CA.
