Quotation
du jour: Bob Dylan ~ This land is your land and this land is my land,
sure, but the world is run by those that never listen to music
anyway.
[As
you may or may not know, i live in Canada, and for some reason KSHE
doesn't stream their audio to here. I have to connect via a VPN to
spoof a non-Canadian address. This week, according to
https://whatismyipaddress.com/,
i was listening from New York City again. Great! I love NYC.]
I
must confess that, before today's show began, I was worried. Yes, I
was: I was listening to Radio Paradise, and their audio stream kept
dropping every few minutes. I tried re-booting the modem and the
router, but that didn't seem to help and I thought, if this keeps up,
The Klassics Show could be a disconcering listening experience. I'm
well aware that my Internet connection isn't the greatest, thanks to
my noisy 'phone line, but, as it turned out, KSHE's audio stream was
virtually uninterrupted for the full four hours. (The were two
momentary dropouts, nothing to tear one's hair out over.) So I
suppose the problem must have been at Radio Paradise's end.
As
for today's show, i'm reluctantly giving it an A Minus. There was
nothing that I hated, but it included too much that was merely
“okay”. Jimmy Spheeris? Michael Fennelly? Judas Priest (a band I
didn't really think belonged here anyway)? Automatic Man? Yawn. But
there was quite a lot that I loved, too, and I think I almost came
very close to being on the verge of tears when Uman played that
beautiful Renaissance song, which was definitely the highlight for
me.
And
lookie there! It's Sugarloaf Mountain a.k.a. Pão

an unusually long list of the schtuff we played at home to annoy the
neighbours this week. What annoyed them even more – and the reason
for the list's length – was that I had the week off. Bwahaha!
