[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 New York City (Manhattan)
again. I once thought of NYC as my spiritual home; then i went to St
Louis, and the rest is history.]
Now that's more like
it! After last week's rather lacklustre instalment, the Klassics Show
was back on form today. The show is automatically graded an A+
because of the inclusion of Dan Fogelberg, but the truth is, it
almost deserved it without Dan's contribution.
There was certainly a
lot of much-loved music, and nothing awful (although the spoken
introduction to the Grand Funk Railroad track was somewhat dubious
and The Animals' song, which i actually like, featured some of Eric
Burdon's most atrocious lyrics). Some of the songs were “merely”
good (i.e., not great) and i really don't think Huey Lewis belongs on
this show, although his track was listenable enough.
Highlights for me were
ELO, Horslips, ELP (Uman incorrectly introduced “Knife Edge” as
an instrumental number) and Rod Stewart – younger readers may not
remember a time when Rod Stewart could actually rock.
Th-th-that's all,
folks!
