KSHE KLASSICS SHOW, November 17th, 2019

Quotation Of The Week ~ Voltaire: The ear is the avenue to the heart.

[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 stuck inside of Cheney (Kansas) with the Memphis blues again.] [Hey, it's a small town – not much to do here but listen to the radio.]

It's a difficult one to grade this week. Yes, it gets A+ for including Dan Fogelberg, but his two albums with Tim Weisberg are a long way from being favourites. Ironically, considering the fact that the track was “The Power Of Gold,” Weisberg sued Fogelberg for breach of contract after their second collaboration CD. I guess the message (i.e., money is evil) was lost somewhere....

Otherwise, it was a very good if not a Snuffles the dog floating to the ceiling in ecstasy edition. We had Humble Pie, we had The Allman Brothers, Greg Kihn, Van Morrison, The Sutherland Brothers, Eagles, Poco and Steely Dan. But then we also had U2 (a group i don't really believe belongs on this show – although i do like some of their music). REO Speedwagon (ugh) and, er, Wiggy Bits (?), and a Styx song about romancing a 17-year old girl, which made me feel more than a little uncomfortable to be honest...

Oh, look! There's Snuffles! Guess he was listening to last week's show....

My own personal playlist this week.... I may have mentioned that i fired all of my psychiatric health-care professionals (a.k.a. bartenders). Some were good, but the one who was forced upon me the most often was terrible. I have new prospects and i'm hopeful but yet again i had to choose this week's albums on my own.
