KSHE Klassics Show, Sept. 16th, 2018

Quotation du jour: William Hjortsberg ~ It was a nice afternoon, too nice to spoil with the car radio’s hit parade lineup of adenoidal retards.

[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 i have so often been recently.] [I can split infinitives there as well as i can anywhere else.]

Is it possible to give a higher score than A+? Dan Fogelberg was on this morning's playlist and that automatically gives the installment an A+ and it was one of Dan's best songs, "Nether Lands" – actually, one of the most beautiful songs anywhere. I was in the kitchen making breakfast when the song came on. Breakfast waited.

The fact is, though, that i would have given this week an A+ (six stars out of five?) even without Dan. I'd noticed in recent weeks that The Klassics Show, great as it is, had become just a tad repetitive. This morning, John Ulett (the host) announced that he was planning to play a whole load of schtuff that he hadn't played in a while and he was true to his word. There was music here that i can't recall ever hearing before, and i can't remember (and i can't be arsed going through the archives) the last time i heard any of the others. There was nothing that i hated and loads that i loved.
