Who remembers making paper hats using newspaper? I do and I passed this on to our children when they were small. I hope parents still do it. If not and you’re curious about this DIY project, I found a tutorial to guide your steps at OneLittleProject.
This week’s theme is whatever music moves you! Over the past year or two the million-selling 1975 hit, “Chevy Van” has crossed my ears. The naughty song tells about a one-night stand of a guy who picks up a female hitch hiker in his wagon. I couldn’t have told you then or now the artist’s name if asked and I believe this is the only song of the singer’s I know. My memory is like mud these days, so I figured I’d do a little exploration at YT on Sammy Johns music!
Accolades listed on Wiki for Johns are a bit skimpy. This may account to why nothing more resonates with me about the fella. “Chevy Van”, track 2 on playlist, peaked #5 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and stayed on the chart for 17 weeks in ’75. He had four other (US) songs to chart excluding the re-release that I don’t know on the playlist below. They are track 1 “Early Morning Love” #68, track 4 “Rag Doll” #52, “Common Man” # 50 (US country) and again the re-release of “Chevy Van’ in 1988 hit #80 (US country). The rest of the songs on this album are introductions. If you enjoy 70s music, then you probably will like today’s ride back in time, not in a chevy van, from where you’re sitting.
I enjoyed this collection of songs. I can’t understand why some of these songs didn’t go anywhere. Something about Johns style, maybe it’s just that laid back soft rock vibe I like so much.

For anyone interested, yesterday I posted a BOTB. 😉 On Tuesday, a country wide celebration takes place. It’s the biggest birthday bash in communities big and small for America’s 247th birthday. Let freedom ring from sea to shining sea and from the depths of canyons to loathly mountain tops! Happy Birthday America! Until next time, this is CAAC signing off saying have a boogietastic week!
