[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 somewhere in Reno County, Kansas. Strange: my location finder has never been so imprecise before...]
Quotation Of The Week ~ J.R.R. Tolkien: If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.
I only have one word to say about today's show: holy meow! (OK, two words.) Definitely a grade of A+ and not only because Uman played Dan Fogelberg, either (It was one of Dan's most beautifullest songs, too – it nearly has me weeping with joy whenever i hear it.) Just look at that playlist! So much gorgeous music: particular favourites included Badfinger, The Moodies, Camel, Dylan, Blind Faith, Saga, Honeymoon Suite, The Sutherland Bros., and of course Bob Seger – whose song, i didn't know until this morning, includes his old pal from Michigan Glenn Frey on guitar and backing vocals. Sure, there was some pretty obscure music (Shoot? Tycoon?) but there was nothing annoying and a good amount of Canadian music, to boot. Alas, again there wasn't one of The Beatles' deeper tracks, but sometimes Uman's plans gang aft agley. A few months ago he suggested that he'd be playing more music by Renaissance and i haven't heard them since!
Some other schtuff i didn't know until today: Night Ranger was originally called Ranger but they didn't know that there was country band of that name and the country dudes threatened to sue. They added the “Night” to their name and thus screwed the lawyers out of their money, and that's always a bonus. Also, the great ska band The Beat is called “The English Beat” in the US because there was an American band called The Beat. I knew that, but i didn't know what the band was ... until today. I'd have to say i prefer the Limeys!
