KSHE KLASSICS SHOW, November 3rd, 2019

Quotation Of The Week ~ Clarence Clemons: As a horn player, the greatest compliment one can get is when a person comes up to you and says “I heard this saxophone on the radio the other day and i knew it was you. I don't know the song, but i knew it was you on sax.”

[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, again.

It was a wonderful program this week: it definitely earned a grade of “A.” Just look at that list down there – lots of music i can honestly say i love, nothing i hated, and only one song that was just the teensiest bit tedious. (That would be J.F. Salt's yawn-o-rama.)

What a great start, too, with the often wonderful Wishbone Ash (still going strong after an incredible fifty years in the biz). Other favourites included George Harrison, The Moody Blues, The Yardbirds, Pink Floyd, Jeff Beck (incidentally my second favourite guitarist of all time), The Beatles (of course!), Jon & Vangelis and Jimi Hendrix.
