Quotation
Of The Week ~ Graham Nash (on Dan Fogelberg): The world became a
little brighter because of his music.
[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 San Francisco again.]
Well,
that didn't start in too promising a fashion: the lead singer of
Pavlov's Dog (a St Louis band), David Surkamp, has one of the most
irritating voices i have ever heard. (Mike Reno of Loverboy, whose
song was the next but one, has a voice that can effect me like
fingernails on a blackboard, wasn't too bad on “Queen Of The Broken
Hearts”).
I
knew that it couldn't possibly get any worse and of course it didn't,
in spite of the inclusion of Ted Nugent and (ugh) REO Speedwagon
(whose singer, Kevin Cronin, is another whose voice makes me want to
perform self-evisceration). It wasn't extraordinary, though. I was
all set to grade it an A- until Dan Fogelberg came on in the final
hour, which automatically kicked it up to A++
Lots
of music to love, and a lot of Canadian music too – not necessarily
the same thing, obviously, but KSHE does play a lot of Canadian music
that is never heard on Canadian radio and today there was more than
usual. (Uman even admitted that he was in a Canadian mood – what,
no Max Webster? -- maybe because there's a heat wave in St Lou and
it's not all that hot here; he's jealous!)
For
me, today's highlights were Bob Dylan, The Strawbs, Marillion and of
course, Dan Fogelberg. The best four hours (minus commercials) of
radio anywhere.
