KSHE KLASSICS SHOW, JAN. 6th, 2019

Quotation du jour ~ Confucius: Music produces a kind of pleasure which human nature cannot do without.

[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 San Francisco once more.]

John Ulett dedicated the first song today to the memory of Ray Sawyer of Dr Hook, who died on December 31st at the age of 81. It was a morbid start to a mostly pretty good installment of the show and was probably the worst song he played today – although the REO Speedwagon came a close second.

I'm giving in an “A+” because of the inclusion of a Dan Fogelberg song. Otherwise, though, there were only a few songs i can honestly say i love, but most of those, i love a lot! OMG, Buffalo Springfield, Manfred Mann, Billy Joel.... And let's just say i'm glad i made to the bathroom before the Yes song came on – having seven cups of tea results in certain ablutionary necessities – i would have hated to miss a second of it. Definitely the highlight of the program. And, as much as i enjoyed it, i don't really think that Stanley Clarke can be considered classic rock. Classic jazz-rock fusion for sure, though!

Here's Ray. R.I.P.
