It was on this day in 1976 the former lead singer, John Sebastion of The Loving Spoonful, went to No.1 on the US singles chart with "Welcome Back" which was written for the TV show "Welcome Back Kotter". These days Gabe Kaplan who played the role of "Kotter" is a professional poker player and John Travolta is a pretty huge star. Makes you wonder where Kotter's wife from that series and horshack etc have all gone. Maybe that will come up on another Tidbit day.

Pork Cutlet Sandwich
With melted cheddar on a whole wheat bun. Very simple and actually quite low calorie. Were not exactly covering all the food groups this time but they sure made for a light and tasty dinner.

Today's Tidbit
On this day back in 1975 the band Chicago started a two week stint at No.1 on the US album chart with their third number one album simply titled "Chicago V111".
I could post a lot of links to very recognizable songs from that album and others but I enjoy the more obscure efforts. Take "Hideaway" for instance. To me it sure sounds like Black Sabbath influenced this effort and yet anybody even half familiar with Chicago wouldn't likely have expected that. Enjoy this seldom referenced piece of musical history.
