KSHE Sunday Klassics Show, April 1st, 2018



Quotation du jour ~ Abraham Maslow: A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write, if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself. What one can be, one must be.

I was listening from Raleigh, North Carolina this morning and noticed a major change to the way KSHE streams their audio. Listenlive.co is out and the stream now comes from https://live.kshe95.com/listen/ This is great news – i was fed up with listenlive and it looks like Hubbard Radio was, too. Apart from the fact that the local ads are no longer deleted, as i mentioned last week, starting this week the name of the song that's now playing pops up in the bottom right corner of the screen. This is especially useful for me if i'm not too sure what the song is. Hurrah for Hubbard!

This may be purely coincidental, of course, but i had, for the first time ever, i think, a 100% uninterrupted stream. Not one single drop-out. And it was a great show: any program that plays Rory Gallagher is in my good books, for sure, and there was a lot of music i love. In fact there was only one song i actively disliked -- well, i hate Aerosmith, to be honest. (Has anyone seen Jeff Beck's “Live At The Hollywood Bowl” DVD? In which guest vocalist Steven Tyler makes an utter arse of himself? It's pretty good apart from that.)

But, wow, didn't the end of the show sneak up on me: i thought there was a good hour left to go, but it was over. Until next week.

*This was an iTunes download. I have the vinyl and it's a wonderful record, so I went to amazon to see if it was available on CD and, yes, it is, for around $600, and about $800 on vinyl. I become more and more convinced that my record and comic book collections will be my pension plan!
