In 1971 This Song Came on the Radio

Monday, 28-July-2025 – Veghel - It was July 1971, and I was on my way from Bay City, MI to Loring AFB, ME, my next assignment for the US Air Force. I had just bought a “brand new” 1970 Chevy Nova with my Grandpa Ulbricht’s inheritance money (I left my worn out 1961 Chevy Impala behind on the lot). It was dark green and had a six-cylinder engine and a three-in-the-tree stick-shift manual transmission. I planned for three days to get there so I could enjoy the scenery along the way. I was so excited while driving on the ON-401 highway to my next adventure. I had beautiful sunny weather all the way. I was somewhere between Kingston and Montreal when this song came on the radio--in August, it would be the number 1 hit in Canada for four weeks. (I never knew who sang it, until today). I thought, Life doesn’t get any better than this.
