KSHE Klassics Show, Dec. 9th, 2018


Quotation du jour: Benny Hill ~ Don't put off 'til tomorrow what you can do today because if you do it today and you like it you can do it again tomorrow.

[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 Jefferson, Kansas. I've never been there before. Strangely, it wasn't named after Thomas Jefferson, who happens to be one of my heroes, but after Albert Jefferson Broadbent, the original owner of the town site. Perhaps he was named after the third POTUS.]

Grudgingly, i'm giving this week's installement an A+ because, without the Dan Fogelberg track, it would have rated a "mere" A. Well, all of the Christmas ads pissed me off -- although none of the music did, but there some fairly obscure tracks – The Michael Wynn Band? Really? But there was enough music that i loved to mean that the program just whooooshed by and it was one o'clock before i knew it, and the show was over. Bummer. There were also a few instances where KSHE's home page failed to show what was now playing. In each case i knew what the song was so i didn't have to work too hard .... But there was also one ginormous howler – they mis-identified the Eric Clapton song as being by Queen!

Speaking of Christmas, though, the cards i ordered from The Prostate Cancer Foundation, designed by Jean Fogelberg (Dan's widow) arrived a few days ago and whenever a song came on that i wasn't madly in love with, i addressed one. I'm a bit behind.... But in an odd case of synchronicity, when Dan's "Illinois" came on (one of my favourite tracks of his, btw – about one of my favourite American states), i was in the middle of addressing one to a friend in Illinois!
