KSHE KLASSICS SHOW, Feb. 3rd, 2019

Quotation du jour ~Aaron Copland: To stop the flow of music would be like the stopping of time itself, incredible and inconceivable.


[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, to be precise. Suits me, i love it there.]

Today's edition would have been worthy of an A+ even without the Dan Fogelberg track – one of Dan's best. Oh, there were a couple of annoyances for sure: Sting and Harry Chapin, ugh, i can't stand either of those songs, and Sting's solo version of “Roxanne” is truly awful. But honestly, who can say they are able to listen to the radio for four hours and only suffer twice? Pretty much everything else was fab, and there was quite a lot that i can honestly say i love.

I should have known i was in for a treat when the show began with B.B. King – someone i haven't heard played on KSHE in a couple of years and have never heard on the Klassics Show.

There were a couple of minor technical boo-boos. KSHE's home page always shows what's playing, but Dan Fogelberg was labelled as The Rolling Stones and Gypsy was labelled as The Black Crowes. It makes me wonder how many times i have posted incorrect song titles – i don't always recognise everything, ya know!

Here's the King Of The Blues himself. See you next week.....
