KSHE Klassics Show, New Year's Eve, 2017

Quotation du jour: P.J. O'Rourke: The proper behavior all through the holiday season is to be drunk.This drunkenness culminates on New Year's Eve, when you get so drunk you kiss the person you're married to.

Well, wouldn't you know it: my computer hasn't suffered the BSOD in a while; five minutes into this morning's program, CRASH! I didn't miss much, though -- i was able to listen on my iPad until i could restart. After that it was smooth sailing all the way.

It was odd that John Ulett ("Uman") wasn't hosting today; in fact there was no host -- the first time i recall that happening in all the years i've been listening. I suppose everyone deserves a break, and the show was as good as ever(maybe he programmed it himself, just wasn't in the chair). Quite a few songs i truly love, nothing i hated -- although the Santana was pretty boring, but not so bad that i wanted to take an axe to the computer speakers.

My favourite song this morning? (I know you want to know.) "Rose Of Cimarron."

Here's the playlist -- and it's a long list -- they were mostly relatively short songs today:
