KSHE KLASSICS SHOW, Rocktober 20th, 2019


Quotation Of The Week ~ Confucius: Music produces a kind of pleasure which human nature cannot do without.

[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 Cheney, Kansas once again.]

R.I.P. Steve Cash of The Ozark Mountain Daredevils (1946-2019).

O.K., that sad news out of the way i'm delighted to be able to grade this week's edition A-plus. The inclusion of Rory Gallagher automatically means an A-plus, of course, but today's show merited it regardless. The first hour alone was full of music i love, and the subsequent three hours (minus commercials) barely let up the brilliant pace.

Certainly there were a few obscurities scattered throughout, but all nice stuff, and the only really annoying song was that by The Fraternity Of Man – i hadn't heard it in perhaps thirty years and i can quite happily go another thirty years without hearing it again. Apologies to all you pot-heads out there who adore it and find it gut-bustingly funny but that's just the way it is (baby).

On a technical note, it wasn't a seamless four hours: the stream dropped several times and i even had to reload it twice. It's difficult to determine whose fault this was, though. My Internet connection did seem a bit erratic this morning, but not much worse than usual. Maybe the problem lay with KSHE? Or maybe the gremlin that lives inside the box....

And the damned show ended ten minutes early! Huh?!?
