Creedence Clearwater Revival

I posted this song because this blog is for my grandsons and I want them to hear it.

It was maybe 1967, I was 6 years old and we left my father and moved to Illinois. I was very scared then and worried about my path in life. We lived on the swampy edge of the Great Lake area and across the swamp was a theme park of sorts (I never saw it), Every Friday and Saturday night they had a fireworks show across the water behind my home.

One night catching firefly's I heard this song and it brought me great comfort beyond what you could imagine because now Illinois was not "just an unknown place" but a place of fascination and now I was proud to be there for the first time...
