KSHE KLASSICS SHOW, Rocktober 6th, 2019


Quotation Of The Week ~ Duke Ellington: "There is nothing to keeping a band together. You simply have to have a gimmick, and the gimmick I use is to pay them money!"

[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 in Cheney, Kansas, again. I must like it there....]

This morning's show was broadcast live from the Chesterfield Amphitheater, where the KSHE Klassic Car Show (presented by Griffin Automotive Design in Bonne Terre, Missouri) was being held. 

 







I have to state at the outset that i cannot abide Meatloaf. His histrionic style drives me up the wall. The inclusion of his song, plus numbers by three bands i find embarrassingly bad (Blood, Sweat & Tears – although they were okay until David-Clayton Thomas joined – REO Speedwagon and Aerosmith) almost meant that this week's episode was given a grade of B.

Ultimately, though, there was so much great schtuff i went with an A-minus. The program had a fabulous start with Eagles and Greg Kihn, then A.R.S., Cream (R.I.P. Ginger Baker), Al Stewart, Strawbs and – oh, excellent! -- Humble Pie and Uriah Heep (is there any other radio station in the world that would play “Salisbury”?).

Once again, i had to choose my own personal playlist for the week all on my very own, as my therapy professionals a.k.a. favourite bartenders all seem to be M.I.A. I think i did pretty well: the music helped and that's what it's all about, innit.
