Quotation du jour: Hans Christian Anderson ~ Where words fail, music speaks
It seems i was listening from somewhere in California on Sunday. I hope the weather was nice for me, it was dull and dreary and -1 degree (Celsius) at home. At least, that i was thinking as the audio stream began and i was told that "together we can make California better."
Then something that i really loved, happened. A couple of weeks ago i mentioned that listenlive.co, the outfit that streams KSHE's audio, would, during commercial breaks, replace the local St Louis ads with (a) a sometimes wildly inappropriate song of their own, and/or (b) ads aimed at me based on my geographical location, i.e., wherever my VPN told them i was listening from. That didn't happen this Sunday. There were no extraneous songs and i heard mostly local ads, which was great. I love St Louis so much, i even like their radio ads! http://www.moinsurance.org/ http://www.suntrupnissan.com/ https://www.ackermantoyota.com/ http://www.goodfeet.com/st-louis/ I shoulda been born there.... (I wonder if those people will give me a commission...?)
And what a playlist. I know i'm onto a good thing when, in a four hour show, there was only one song that made me want to toss the laptop out of the window, the REO Speedwagon horror. (OMG, i hate that piece of alleged music.) I needed this, too: i had a miserable, stress-filled week at work. You might be surprised to hear that i have another job! Yes, i've been blogging for ten years now and i've earned around $13, so it's not like i need one, but i like to do something that keeps me busy for more than four hours a week.... Last week was too OTT, though. Keep clicking on them ads, folks!

The KSHE Klassics Show, Nov. 19th, 2017
Quotation du jour ¬ Joni Mitchell: I see music as fluid architecture.
On Sunday morning, i had a seamless listening experience -- no connection problems at all, and no computer woes. Unlike most of the week. I won't bore you with the details; suffice to say that i needed my modem replaced and had to uninstall and re-install my browser and to be honest, until just a couple of hours prior to the start of the show, i wasn't certain i'd be able to listen at all, except on my iPad with a $45 Bluetooth speaker, which sounds okay but can't compare to the Altec-Lansings i have on the computer. I sorted everything out, though. I'm not just another pretty face.
And it was a great show yet again -- only one song i really can't stand (The Marshall Tucker Band) and several that i truly love (Yes, Rockpile, the Rod Stewart -- i know, kids, it may be hard to believe now, but Rod Stewart created some brilliant music back in the seventies).
And this photograph of Joni Mitchell has absolutely no relevance to the show -- i doubt if KSHE has ever played Joni -- but i'm reading David Yaffe's biography of her atm, and it's excellent, so she's been on my mind.

The KSHE Klassics Show, Nov. 12th, 2017
Quotation du jour -- John Cleese: You realize as you grow older that almost nobody knows what they are talking about.

The KSHE Klassics Show, Nov. 5th, 2017
Quotation du jour: Ludwig Van Beethoven ¬ Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy. Music is the electrical soil in which the spirit lives, thinks and invents.
Thanks to my VPN, i was listening to the program from New York City this week -- at least, according to the ads that listenlive.co was inserting, but that's okay with me: i used to feel that NYC was my spiritual home. Until, that is, i went to St Louis and discovered the Delmar Loop area....
Anyway, to the music. I was thinking, when Uman (the show's host) played the track by The Kings -- the second song by a Canadian group in less than an hour -- that KSHE plays a disproportionate amount of music from The Great White North, and out of curiosity i looked at the website of another American station i have bookmarked. Their playlist indicated that they had played just one Canadian performer since midnight, and that was Jeff Healey (who i happen to think was over-rated). (And before any of my anonymous commentards decide to flame me, that is my OPINION. I happen to like ABBA. So what?)
After the Kings' song finished, as yet another example of GMTA, Uman himself remarked on this phenomenon, saying, with a chuckle, that "the amount of Canadian music we play on the Klassics Show is ridiculous, when you think about it." Of course, there was only one more Canuck track for the rest of the show.
Anyway, it was a great show: i'd be delighted to hear Rory Gallagher every week, that Kings' song is a classic for sure (and, indeed a klassic), plus Genesis, The Allman Brothers, Mama's Pride, Robin Trower, Steely Dan, Wishbone Ash, Billy Joel, Yes, ELO -- all performers whose music i love.
Normally, i try to head the playlist with a photo that's relevant to the first song, but i really couldn't think of one for The Beat's song, so here's a pic of Rory Gallagher, the best blues-rock guitarist of all time, ever.
The Beat -- Don't Wait Up For Me Tonight
April Wine -- Oowatanite
Toto -- I'll Supply The Love
Journey -- Spaceman
Icehouse -- Electric Blue
Joe Walsh -- At The Station
The Kings -- This Beat Goes On / Switchin' To Glide
Roger Daltrey -- One Man Band
The Allman Brothers Band -- Blue Sky
Rory Gallagher -- Brute Force And Ignorance
Supertramp -- Hide In Your Shell

Mama's Pride -- Can I Call You A Cab
Genesis -- I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)

Michael Stanley -- In The Heartland
Robin Trower -- Bridge Of Sighs
Runner -- Run For Your Life
Steely Dan -- Any Major Dude Will Tell You
Mountain -- Nantucket Sleighride
B.B King -- The Thrill Is Gone
Wishbone Ash -- Blowin' Free
