Craig Leonard & Turn the Page!


An alumni of mine from Prospect High, though we ran in different circles - A most excellent musician Craig Leonard. - Also an endearing song from back in the time! Now, as I reflect back to those times, there existed a special group of very talented people back in that 500 plus group from 1968, I remember people like Bruce Boxleitner who went on to stardom. And then there was the Cellar in Arlington Heights, back in the day with groups like The Shadows of Knight! Good times all! And yes Craig, I do like your music! Please rock on! We are 'still crazy after all these years', for those of us still standing, at least? Personally, I'm still 'strutting and fretting' on a stage with little to very few audiences....  That be me, though. And, circa 2017, I'm still listening and still turning those pages, Craig!

Shadows of Knight with Shake

This was a group that lived a block or so from my house in Mt. Prospect Illinois back in the 60's. If I remember correctly this is the same group that opened with the song 'Sugar Shack' in their first appearance at an 'All Knight Dance' at my school called Prospect High way back in the day. They also performed often, at a venue known as 'The Cellar' in Arlington Heights, Il. A great group that also made a signature song called Gloria!

Shadows of Knight with Shake!

Forgive the bad size of this video! Please hit the expand button for a better view! Anyway, back in the 1960's this group provided a lot of good times for a young man in his teens. I can recall that the first song they sang at the 'All Knight Dance' at Prospect High was Sugar Shack! That was magic! If you remember the 'Cellar' in Arlington Heights back then, you would remember the Shadows of Knight!

I again apologize for the terrible quality of this video, but you have no idea how hard it was to resurrect it to this point! The powers that be (I think their initials are WacoMoneyGropers), who for whatever reason, do not want this video to be aired. Perhaps they are just another 'CF' corporation who has forgotten who pays for their products. Or perhaps, they never cared in the first place!
