Quotation
Of The Week ~ Groucho Marx: Politics is the art of looking for
trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and
applying the wrong remedies.
[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 Clifton, New Jersey again.]
The
Klassics show's host, John Ulett, along with Mark Klose (a jock at
the station on Fridays and Saturdays and member of the St Louis Radio
Hall Of Fame) (and an old friend of John's) were broadcasting live
from the Music Record Shop at 3116 Locust St in downtown St Louis
today, an event they called the KSHE Vinyl Tap
https://www.kshe95.com/event/kshe-vinyl-tap/
It was a big sale of vinyl albums from KSHE's basement (they must
have all been digitised by now) and apparently it's an excellent used
record store (i've never been there). KSHE was broadcasting from
there all day, and the co-hosts spent a lot of time reminiscing about
the good old days of pops and crackles.
Unfortunately,
as interesting (and funny!) as the chats were, it meant that we heard
even less music than usual. Kind of a bummer, really, as, based on
what was played, this instalment definitely
merits a grade of A. Oh, sure, there were some mediocre songs, and
i'm on record as stating that the voices of David Surkamp and Dennis
DeYoung effect me like fingernails on a blackboard, but i'm in a good
mood today, i shall overlook those atrocities.
It's
difficult for me to choose a highlight, but if pressed, i'd probably
choose “Maggie's Farm.” A great song and when was the last time
you heard it on the radio? As Mark Klose said at one point, this is
the best radio show anywhere.
