Quotation
du jour: St Teresa Of Avila ~ May God protect me against gloomy
saints.
[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, as has been usual recently.]
To
be honest, it was the Dan Fogelberg song that saved this week's show
from a B+ rating – and it wasn't even one of Dan's best songs. The
automatic A+ was barely merited: it was far from being a stellar
installment. The show started off slowly, the first hour had little
to recommend it (and the Ted Nugent song was embarrassingly bad,
although it was a live performance and the audience obviously loved
it, so what do I know?) but eventually it took off. It never really
soared, though.
Apart
from the above-mentioned number by Da Nuge, there was nothing this
morning that I actively disliked: most of the music was fine and it
was still the highlight of my week. The thing is, there was very
little I can honestly say I loved.
(This blog is all about me, of course! Disagree? Start yer own damn
blog, Cate!) The Dan, obviously; The Eagles, Peter Gabriel, The
Fabulous Thunderbirds. Warren Zevon.... IMFFHO, though, the best
selection today was The Allman Brothers Band's. They're a group I
like more now than I did back in their heyday.

I
tell people that I listen to a wide variety of musics, but, looking
over the list of the albums I played at home this week, it ain't that
eclectic. Classic rock, blues-rock, folk and folk-rock mostly. I may
have to re-define myself.
