[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; i hadn't been there in a
while.]
The
good news this week is, Bart is back! Yes, Bart Inman of St Louis's
own Inman Air (heating and cooling), whose ads used to feature
regularly but who has been absent for several weeks. It was good to
hear his voice and the Missouri accent and there's something about
his droll sense of humour that i really enjoy. If i lived in Missouri
or southern Illinois, i would certainly let him look after my
furnace, if i had a furnace.
As
for the stuff that's less important than the ads (i.e., the music)
this week's episode gets a grade of ... A+
Not
just because of Bart, of course. Uman played Rory Gallagher (for the
second week in a row), which automatically means an A+ but even
without Rory, this week's show would again have merited it. There was
some obscure schtuff, for sure. I mean, The Beatles? Who dat? But
absolutely nothing annoying – with the possible exception of Stevie
Nicks: i used the duration of her song to go and scrub my cat's
litter box, which was far more enjoyable than having to listen to her
nasality -- and loads of songs that i would include in my top 500
favourites list. Nick Lowe! Jefferson Airplane! Steely Dan! James
Taylor! And that was just in the first hour.
Is
it any wonder that The Klassics Show is the highlight of my week?

I
saw three different therapists (a.k.a. bartenders) this week: Melissa
at Montana's twice, Ricki at Montana's and Brooklynne (sp?) at
Bentley's. I hate the jargon they use. I mean, what does “should be
locked up for his own good” mean? What are they implying by calling
me “barking”? If they can't speak plain English, i may have to
fire them. I had to chose my own personal playlist all by myself and
i'm feeling set adrift. You'll see what i mean:
