Earth Wind and Fire
My best memories of EWF are from Iowa City. Whaaaat you ask? The place of the root of all evil? But, si - es verdad.
We jump in the wayback machine. I was in college, and I drove my little red Chevy Monza to visit my friend Chris at the Chi O house at the U of I. Robbie Dob drove over from Atlantic. (she was a former Iowa student, but unfortunate circumstances prevented her return after her frosh year - nobody told her she had to actually attend class) It must have been our junior or senior year.
So we had an Atown reunion in Iowa City. I don't remember the whole weekend. I do remember driving together in my car with my EWF cassette playing, singing at the top of our lungs. Then we went for pizza and there was a singer dude - guitar, microphone. Robyn, being Ms Friendly got to chatting with him. Chris was no slouch there either. Before we knew it, we were posing on the stage with the microphone.
I recall being downtown at some point - at the Airliner. And drinking beer. Robyn, Chris and I always had a grand time together. One time those same gals came to ISU for a weekend - our frosh year (Robyn had not yet flunked out). We all hit the showers together - it was the dorms - we could do that, there were 3 in a row. We sang "Lady Sings the Blues" in 3 part harmony (okay we just sang) sounding so much like Diana Ross we had an audience when we got out. haha
I miss those guys...
