Quotation
du jour: Ian Fleming ~ Never say "no" to adventures.
Always say "yes," otherwise you'll lead a very dull life.
[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 Santa Clara, California, a long way from the
terrible wildfires.]
It
doesn't get any better than this! I have never, ever,
awarded an installment of The Klassics Show an A++ before, but just
look at that list. Jeepers. Appropriate superlatives elude me, i'm
still floating above my chair thinking about it. A++ it is, then,
and out of a possible five stars, i give it seven.
Vexillological supersaturation (or something) this week and no
mistake.
("What?!"
i hear you ask. "How can it receive seven stars out of a
possible five?" To which i reply, somewhat testily, that it's my
blog and my
rating system, i can do whatever the heck i want.)
Right
from the top. "Blind Eye," a Wishbone Ash fave, followed by
lots of other much-loved music. The inclusion of Rory Gallagher and
Dan Fogelberg guarantees an A+ of course, but then there was Mama's
Pride, there was Jeff Beck - if there'd been any Richard Thompson
(unlikely) my three
all-time favourite guitarists would have been represented). There
were, to be sure, songs that i wasn't wild about, but at least there
was nothing dreadful. Try listening to any other radio show for four
hours without hearing something you hate.
