KSHE KLASSICS SHOW, May 5th, 2019


Quotation Of The Week ~ Mark Twain: Politicians and diapers must be changed often, and for the same reason.

[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 – are you ready for this? -- Obufa Esuk Orok, in the Cross River region of Nigeria. Wow, i've never been to Africa before!]

It's very difficult to know what to say about this week's program. It was kinda frustrating.

Just from a technical viewpoint, it was far from ideal. I don't know if the problems were with my local machine or with the radio station, but the audio stream kept failing, and i missed a good part of at least two songs. Further, KSHE's home page usually shows what's currently playing, a boon for me when i don't know the song. But not always – it took me nearly five minutes of Googling (more precisely, Duckduckgoing) to identify the Batdorf & Rodney song, and they mis-labelled at least two tracks.

As for the music, if not for the Dan Fogelberg track and a few others, i don't think i could have graded it higher than a B. The Ray Manzarek and REO Speedwagon tracks were awful. There were certainly a few songs that would be in my top 500 favourites list and The Eagles' song is probably in the top 100, so with those and Dan it gets A+
