KSHE Klassics Show, May 6th, 2018

Quotation du jour ~ Ezra Pound: A classic is classic not because it conforms to certain structural rules, or fits certain definitions (of which its author had quite probably never heard). It is classic because of a certain eternal and irrepressible freshness. [yes, i know he was talking about literature, but i thought it was apt]

I was listening from Clifton, New Jersey again this morning. It's the birthplace of Vera Farmiga, which gives me an excuse to use a photo of the gorgeous woman as my image of the week (below).

I'm sorry to say that there was one number today that i couldn't identify – an instrumental piece. It came after the UFO song. Usually KSHE will post the title in a couple of places on their website, but i couldn't find it (their new site is under construction since their move from Union Station to Creve Coeur, it seems) and, as it was an instrumental, i couldn't Google (or, more accurately, DuckDuckGo) the lyrics – which i confess i have had to do occasionally. It wasn't that great a piece of music, anyway.

It was a great show over all, though. Just look at that playlist! Some of my favourite artists and quite a few songs that i love.

Oh, and incidentally, there won't be a post next Sunday. It's Mother's Day and i have to work. The manager asked me if i wanted to work and i said, not really, but that i would if i had to (it's the busiest day of the year in my biz). Guess i have to.... Basically, next week is already ruined for me but i shall return.
