 YouTube - The Euclid Beach Band-No Surf In Cleveland

YouTube - Euclid Beach Band - I Need You - (Eric Carmen) -- [STEREO]

Euclid Beach Band
One day during the relentless winter of '77-'78, Rich Reising and Jim Girard looked out their Scene Magazine office window and said "there's no surf in Cleveland." And then came the brainstorm: Reising and Girard sat down and penned some words, booked some time in a studio and rounded up some friends (including John Hart and Pete Hewitt, both Beach Boys fans with the right vocals). It was supposed to be fun. The result: a hit single mixed by Eric Carmen called "No Surf in Cleveland." After the band decided to donate the proceeds from record sales to charity, every TV station in town jumped on their wave, and Euclid Beach Band was riding a success story. After selling 10,000 copies, the newly-formed band inked a deal with Clevelander Steve Popovich's Cleveland International, the label responsible for Meat Loaf. The band and producer Carmen then entered a New York studio to record their much-anticipated debut--with producers, session musicians (including David Sanborn on sax) and a six-figure recording tab escalating by the hour. Sensing the magical fun of the 45 was lacking, Reising took the tapes back to Cleveland and started remixing. But the LP, released in the summer of '79, couldn't be saved; despite local play, the record wiped out nationally. The Euclid Beach Band broke up the following year.

Our Childhood in Black and White

 
Go all the way to the bottom past the pictures. I think you'll enjoy it.  Whomever wrote this, described childhood to a T.  Hope  you enjoy it.
 
 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Black and White
 
(Under age 40? You won't understand.)
 
You could  hardly see for all the snow,
 
Spread the rabbit ears as far as they go. 
 
Pull a chair up to the TV set,
 
'Good Night, David. Good Night,  Chet.'
 
My Mom used to cut chicken, chop eggs and spread mayo on  the same cutting board with the same knife and no bleach, but we didn't  seem to get food poisoning.
 
My Mom used to defrost hamburger on  the counter AND I used to eat it raw sometimes, too. Our school sandwiches  were wrapped in wax paper in a brown paper bag, not in ice-pack coolers,  but I can't remember getting e.coli .
 
Almost all of us would have  rather gone swimming in the lake instead of a pristine pool (talk about  boring), no beach closures then.
 
The term cell phone would have  conjured up a phone in a jail cell, and a pager was the school PA system. 
 
We all took gym, not PE .. and risked permanent injury with a pair  of high top Ked's (only worn in gym) instead of having cross-training  athletic shoes with air cushion soles and built in light reflectors. I  can't recall any injuries but they must have happened because they tell us  how much safer we are now.
 
Flunking gym was not an option .. even  for stupid kids! I guess PE must be much harder than gym.
 
Speaking  of school, we all said prayers and sang the national anthem, and staying  in detention after school caught all sorts of negative attention. 
 
We must have had horribly damaged psyches. What an archaic health  system we had then. Remember school nurses? Ours wore a hat and  everything.
 
I thought that I was supposed to accomplish something  before I was allowed to be proud of myself..
 
I just can't recall  how bored we were without computers, Play Station, Nintendo, X-box or 270  digital TV cable stations
 
Oh yeah ... and where was the Benadryl  and sterilization kit when I got that bee sting? I could have been killed! 
 
We played 'king of the hill' on piles of gravel left on vacant  construction sites, and when we got hurt, Mom pulled out the 48-cent  bottle of Mercurochrome (kids liked it better because it didn't sting like  iodine did) and then we got our butt spanked.
 
Now it's a trip to  the emergency room, followed by a 10-day dose of a $49 bottle of  antibiotics, and then Mom calls the attorney to sue the contractor for  leaving a horribly vicious pile of gravel where it was such a threat. 
 
We didn't act up at the neighbor's house either because if we did,  we got our butt spanked there and then we got butt spanked again when we  got home.
 
I recall Donny Reynolds from next door coming over and  doing his tricks on the front stoop, just before he fell off. Little did  his Mom know that she could have owned our house. Instead, she picked him  up and swatted him for being such a goof. It was a neighborhood run amuck. 
 
To top it off, not a single person I knew had ever been told that  they were from a dysfunctional family.. How could we possibly have known  that?
 
We needed to get into group therapy and anger management  classes? We were obviously so duped by so many societal ills that we  didn't even notice that the entire country wasn't taking Prozac! How did  we ever survive?
 

LOVE TO ALL OF US WHO SHARED THIS ERA, AND TO ALL  WHO DIDN'T. SORRY FOR WHAT YOU MISSED. I WOULDN'T TRADE IT FOR ANYTHING.

People & Things Only Clevelanders Would Know

First up is a small amusement park located east of Cleveland that closed it's doors in 1969. 

EUCLID BEACH PARK was an old school amusement park that had many great rides, one big wooden roller coaster, and th is...


The ROCKET CAR!

Euclid Beach was also the home of this creepy thing...

"LAUGHING SAL " was a mechanical fat lady that was placed at the entrance of the fun house. The old hags spooky looks along with her loud, hysterical, and non-stop laughing traumatized many a young soul...Including mine!


Since the 1980's
Cleveland has had it's very own DAWG POUND.

And these are just a few of the characters that occupy it!

Browns fans, do you remember this... 


It's JOE "
TURKEY " JONES and his legendary pile-drive sack of Steelers HOF Quarterback Terry Bradshaw on 10/10/76. I do believe the NFL implemented a few QB protection rules because of that hit. To Bradshaw's credit, he overcame the hit and was able to continue playing.


rocked the 70's with the Buzzard


And the MICHAEL STANLEY BAND. 

Cleveland still ROCKS to this very day!


Speaking of the 70's! Cavalier fans, do you remember this guy?


It's BOBBY "BINGO" SMITH!


Cleveland area children of the 60's and 70's had the pleasure of watching these kiddie show hosts on local television.

From left to right it's FRANZ THE TOY MAKER, WOODROW THE WOODSMAN, BARNABY, and CAPTAIN PENNY !


And during the Holiday Season we had the pleasure of being entertained by this guy.


It's MR. JING-A-LING ! The official keeper of Santa's keys..

" Mr. Jing-a-Ling , how's your ting-a-ling...Keeeper of the keeeys..On
Halle 's 7th floor...We'll be looking for...You to tuuurn the keeeys.
Keeping track of Santa's pack and treasure house of toooys...Wind up things that Santa brings...To aalll the little girls and boys."
- Bonus Sing-A-Long!


Does anyone remember the Cleveland Crusaders of the WHA?


And that HOF Golie GERRY CHEEVERS was their net minder for a few years in the mid-70's?


Cleveland was the home of many great local television Horror Hosts beginning with this cool cat in the 60's!

Yes, it's the legendary GOULARDI ... a.k.a. Ernie Anderson

In the 70's these guys took over fright night.


HOULIHAN and BIG CHUCK were the best. The horror movie was always secondary to the duo's clever and often corny slap-stick type skits, but when Houlihan left Cleveland for Hollywood the show down-sized a bit and became...


The BIG CHUCK and LIL' JOHN Show .

In my mind the Houlihan and Big Chuck show created the competitive eating craze with their weekly and often gross Pizza eating contest which featured this champion. 


"MUSHMOUTH" MARIANO PACETTI ...Now that dude could pound down some Pizza!

"Mushmouth" was idolized by this legendary
Cleveland area Competitive Eater.

Yep, it's the one and only COONDOG O'KARMA! Coondog holds the hard-boiled egg eating record. That's right...He is the egg-sucking champion! Clevelanders are proud to call this guy their own!!!


And finally, I can't forget about the Cleveland Indians of the 60's, 70's, and 80's. They were our lovable losers and this guy holds a special place in all of our hearts.

RECIPES

 

STRAWBERRY PIE  (submitted by Terri Morris Balchen)

1 baked 9" pie crust shell
1 cup sugar
3 pints of strawberries, washed and hulled
3 1/2 Tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 cup water
red food colouring
whipped cream

Mash one pint of strawberries. Mix sugar and cornstarch in a 3-qt saucepan. Stir in water and mashed berries. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture comes to a boil and boil for two minutes. Remove from heat, stir in a few drops of red food colouring. Cool.
Fold in two pints of berries into the cooled mixture. Pile into a baked pie shell.
Chill and serve with lots of whipped cream.

 

MATZOH BALL RECIPE (submitted by Anne Gutow Chapman)

I use the Manischewitz matzoh ball/soup mix, but:
I make my own chicken soup separate.
I boil up the broth that Manischewitz provides.
I prepare the matzoh ball mix and refrigerate it as instructed, although I use olive oil.
I roll up the matzoh balls in 1-1 1/2" balls and put them all in a dish. (I smear my gloved hands with olive oil.)

When the broth is boiling hard and fast and all of the balls have been rolled, I drop all of the balls in at one time, securely cover the pot, and lower the heat so it doesn't boil over.
I have found that this makes them fluffy and gives the matzoh balls their own chickenish flavor without wasting good soup.
I pitch the starchy Manischewitz broth and put the cooked balls in my good chicken soup.
