[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. I've listened from there
several times before.]
Quotation
Of The Week ~ Jay Leno: The Supreme Court has ruled that they cannot
have a nativity scene in Washington, D.C. This wasn't for any
religious reasons. They couldn't find three wise men and a virgin.
Definitely
a grade of “A+” this week, brothers and sisters. That grade is
automatic when Uman plays Dan Fogelberg, but even without dear Dan
this morning's edition would have merited it. The first hour alone
consisted of seven songs that i have in my own collection, and four
of those i would include in my list of top 200 favourite songs (Nazz,
Yes, Steely Dan & Dan). (I'm a huge fan of Fogelberg's, but i
discovered his music late: five or six years after his death.
Although i'd heard of
him, as far as i can recall the first time i ever actually heard his
music was when i heard “Part Of The Plan” on ... the KSHE
Klassics Show!) (This station has literally changed my life in more
ways than one.)
The
remaining three hours – or 2.25 hours, excluding the ads – was
almost as exciting. We had some of the best guitar playing this side
of Rory Gallagher with Jeff Beck and Wishbone Ash; sheer poetry from
Bob Dylan and John Lennon; a track from my second favourite Jethro
Tull album; superb music from Billy Joel, Pink Floyd and The Doobie
Brothers.... There were too many highlights to mention, really, and
nothing at all that irritated me (apart from the Christmas ads, but
they're pretty unavoidable everywhere right now). I could have lived
without The New Riders Of The Purple Sage and Ray Manzarek, but there
was nothing bad about their songs, they just
weren't all that inspiring.
As
usual, the time zoomed by and the show was over long before i was
expecting it. Definitely the high point of my week (in spite of the
ongoing and mysterious absence of Bart Inman!).
