Quotation
Of The Week ~ Oscar Wilde: Over the piano was printed a notice:
Please do not shoot the pianist. He is doing his best.
[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 Brandon, Florida. I've never listened
from there before, although Brandon is in the Tampa area and i've
been to Tampa in what we laughingly call “real” life. ]
Now
this, ladies and gentlemen, is what i call radio!
Playing
Dan Fogelberg (and it was one of his most beautiful songs, too)
automatically gives the show a grade of A+ but the fact is, it would
have earned A+ even without that. I've never actually gone to the
trouble of listing my top 500 favourite songs ever – it would be a
pretty fluid list, anyway – but eight or nine of this morning's
selections would definitely be included. The
Allmans, Billy Joel, Camel, Steely Dan, Robin Trower, Dan's song of
course....
Oh
sure, there were some annoyances. Ted Nugent and REO Speedwagon of
course – although their songs weren't really all that bad. The
worst was the Eric Clapton. Does that surprise you? I'm not a
Clapton-basher as so many of my fellow Rory Gallagher fans are. But
he hit the low point in his career during the seventies and “I've
Got A Rock 'N' Roll Heart” is just dull, dull, dull – and this
music has nothing to do with rock 'n' roll whatsoever.
Anyway,
just clock this playlist and rejoice, and welcome to Brandon, Florida!
