Quotation du jour ~
Hoda Kotb: I love music. For me, music is morning coffee. It's mood
medicine. It's pure magic. A good song is like a good meal-I just
want to inhale it and then share a bite with someone else.
[As you may or may
not know, i live in Canada, and for some reason KSHE doesn't stream
their audio to here and i have to connect via a VPN, to spoof a
non-Canadian address. This week, according to
https://whatismyipaddress.com/
i was listening from Toronto! Well, obviously that
wouldn't have worked, so i disconnected from and reconnected to my
VPN and – whoosh!
-- i was in Clifton, New Jersey, where i've been several times.]
I was on my way to
awarding this week's rather disappointing installment a “mere” B+
but then Uman played that awful tripe by Aphrodite's Child and that
torpedoed it down to a B. But all was not lost – later, he played
Mama's Pride and that nudged it northwards to an A minus -- and it
wasn't even one of my favourite songs of theirs but it's always great
to hear Pat Liston's voice. The Wishbone Ash and Thin Lizzy tracks
helped, too. (The Liston brothers have a new album out but, as of this writing, it is only available through their website and they don't ship to Canada. Bummer!)
In truth, there was
nothing actually wrong with this morning's show (apart from
Aphrodite's Child), but there wasn't much that was great about it,
either. A lot of music i like, for sure, but not much that i can
honestly say i love and a lot that was merely all rigttht.
And there's The Marshall Tucker Band. Ugly bunch, really, but very pretty music.
