KSHE Klassics, March 11th, 2018




According to https://whatismyipaddress.com/ i was listening from Santa Clara, California this morning. Good! Although the Spanish-influenced design of many of the buildings doesn't speak to me, the weather is much nicer there than it is in cold, snow-blanketed Stratford....

It wasn't exactly a classic Klassics Show today, although the first two songs gave me high hopes. A lot of great music, along with a few duds – REO Speedwagon leaps to mind, i can't stand the band, sorry.

At least it was a painless listening experience – apart from all of those damned ads directed to us Santa Clarans! No Internet drop-outs at all, no computer crashes. Life is good.

And i'm sharing this pic of Kate Bush -- who has never been played on KSHE, as far as i know -- simply because i can.
