I awoke this morning at 4:42 and the first thing that ran thru my mind was “Glenwood Avenue.” My second thought was “Where the hell did that come from?” (I think I may have heard it play the other day in Buzzy’s Country Store when I had the radio tuned to a 60’s channel.)

Before 442 Glenwood, their first hit record Birthday Party was recorded when they were sophomores in high school. Here they are in 2010 performing it:
