[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 back in North Bergen, New Jersey for the first time in a
few weeks.]
The burning question of the week
is, where is Bart Inman? He's the owner of a heating and
air-conditioning company in St Louis and i enjoy his ads on The
Klassics Show, but he's been missing for about three weeks now. Come
home, Bart, all is forgiven! (https://inmanair.com/)
(I
think that, as advertising takes up about a quarter of the show every
week, i may have to start including it in my assessments – it's obviously important....)
I'm
grading this week's show as an A, even though the Ted Nugent track
was so awful (appalling, deplorable, repulsive, dreadful, ghastly –
thank you, Dr Roget) i wanted to take a hammer to my speakers ... but
then i would have had to listen to the rest of the show on my iPad
using earbuds and those things keep falling out. It wouldn't have
been all that enjoyable, really. And the rest of the show was d*mned
good!
Sure,
there were a few songs i wasn't crazy about – the Mason Profitt
number comes to mind – and, to be honest, there weren't that many
tracks that i would include in my favourite 1000 songs list, but
almost every track was perfectly delightful.
It's
always wonderful to hear Cheryl Dilcher (R.I.P.) on the radio. She
and i have (had?) three degrees of separation but, Luther Grosvenor
and i are two degrees apart, as i am with all of The Police, so i guess three
degrees isn't all that impressive....
